1. CONSULTATION
We will meet with you on site or at our offices to discuss your ideas for the project. Our experience will help stretch what can be achieved within your budget to improve the overall design and maximise the return on your investment.
2. SURVEY
We will carry out a measured survey of your site or existing property.
3. SKETCH DESIGN
We will provide a sketch design based on the brief we have discussed and developed at stage 1.
4. PLANNING APPLICATION (if required)
We will prepare the drawings and documents for the planning application, check that they meet with your approval and submit them on your behalf.
5. BUILDING REGULATIONS APPROVAL
This approval is required even if your project falls within the permitted development regime and covers the functional requirements of buildings (please note that building regulation drawings are not construction drawings which can also be produced if required).
6. Tender
After stage 5 our involvement can be tailored to meet your needs. If you do not want to take the project forward yourself we can prepare tender documents and arrange the tender process for the build. We have contacts with a number of builders, engineers and other building professionals who we can recommend to you if required.
7. Construction/Project Management
Again if you require this service we can meet with your builder regularly on site to check on progress, answer any design queries and ensure that your building is progressing on budget and being built as drawn. We will liaise with other specialists and oversee the construction through to successful conclusion.
