It is creative thinking and a clear understanding of constraints, opportunities, regulations and requirements that enables us as designers to realise the potential of your project.
"Well designed spaces and buildings are uplifting and have a positive influence on our sense of well being.
We do not charge for this first meeting. This meeting provides us with a clear understanding of your project allowing us to prepare a fee proposal and outline scope of works tailored to your specific project.
Following our first meeting we will produce an initial concept scheme exploring potential designs and options. The concept design will be presented to you using 3d sketches, scaled plans, mood boards, 3d exterior and interior visuals.
We then develop the design further taking on board your comments. We will arrange meetings as required to discuss further the proposals as the design develops.
As the design develops we can advise on likely build costs.
Once you are satisfied with the concept scheme we will progress and refine the design to prepare planning drawings and supporting information required to submit to the local authority to obtain the relevant planning approval.
Advice on any other approvals or reports required for submission to the local authority. i.e. ecology, tree report.
This stage of works commences once you have planning approval.
At this stage of the process we will require the input of other consultants. i.e. structural engineer, energy consultant, services engineer.
We provide a comprehensive package of detailed drawings. The more information that is provided at this stage will enable a builder to be more accurate with their pricing. We produce the necessary drawings, details and specification to ensure that all aspects and the quality of the design are understood and delivered on site.
These drawings are also used to obtain Building Regulation Approval.
