Services
We conduct an initial consultation to thoroughly establish the project brief and determine the required services. A formal letter of appointment and a RIBA Fee Proposal will be presented for review. The process is detailed according to the RIBA Plan of Work, providing a structured and professional basis for our partnership.
Measured Survey
Report
Our approach involves conducting a meticulous measured survey to produce accurate drawings of existing structures, informed by a local land survey. Preliminary plans, sections, and elevations created from this data establish a foundation for design development. These designs are essential for early cost assessment and may also serve as a reference for initial discussions with contractors or planning officers.
Building Regulations
Report
Our planning process involves creating detailed presentation drawings and managing the submission to the Local Planning Authority on your behalf. We ensure regular contact with the case officer to resolve matters efficiently. The statutory determination period is eight weeks, and consents remain valid for three years. Applications for Conservation Areas or Listed Buildings require extra supporting documents, which we prepare and handle consistently.
Working Drawings
Report
Our service delivers meticulously prepared working drawings, either complete or selective, to ensure that vital or custom elements are accurately conveyed for construction purposes. Each set of drawings is produced to facilitate precise execution and alignment with client expectations, maintaining clarity throughout the project.
Contract Administration
Report
Deciding in advance if an Architect should administer your construction contract is a critical step prior to contacting a contractor. We assist clients in negotiating building contracts or conducting competitive tenders, providing professional advice throughout. Our services include overseeing tender submissions and managing the administration of contracts to achieve efficient and well-coordinated project delivery.
Site / Contract Administration
Report
Our team offers comprehensive administration of your building contract, including attending site meetings and certifying work as required. We can provide full support throughout your project or be available for consultation at critical stages, ensuring expert guidance whenever it is needed.
