During the initial consultation phase, we will come and meet you in your home or at your office and will discuss your project needs and requirements. We will give you some initial design thoughts, outline our range of services and go through the anticipated timelines and costs. we will then provide you with a design feasibility report, which is completely free of charge.

After you have agreed our fee proposal, we will arrange to visit and carry out a measured survey of your premises. We will then prepare some sketch designs, showing you the different options regarding your project. This step may involve several meetings, during which the design evolves and is eventually agreed upon. We will provide you with a full set of architectural drawings within approximately 20 working days of our site survey.

Once the outline design has been agreed by you, we will prepare drawings for submission to the appropriate planning authority through our planning Portal Account. During this stage, and depending on the nature of your project, we may also prepare computer graphics and animations to enable you to visualise the outcome of your project. This process takes approximately 8 weeks, depending on the type of application.

Once planning approval has been obtained, we will prepare your building regulations drawings, ready for their submission. These include specifications of materials, details of construction build ups and information regarding thicknesses and sizes. Essentially, the building regulations plans are a detailed set of instructions, depicting precisely how the project should be built.

In parallel with your building regulations drawings, our engineers will undertake a full set of calculations to specify steels, timber, concrete and other structural elements. These two processes take around two weeks to complete and are absolutely essential for your building works to commence. These documents will allow you to obtain accurate prices from any builder.

Our construction estimation team can now prepare the documents which make up your detailed project quotation. This pack will contain a full breakdown of the works we will undertake, itemised pricing, timelines and any exclusions.

Once you have selected your contractor, we will inspect the works on-site, ensuring that they are undertaken to the highest quality, within budget and on time. At the end of the works, we will help you obtain a certificate of completion from your local authority.
