Process
Expertise & Guidance
We offer a full architectural service using our expertise and knowledge to guide our clients through the complexities of the design and building process, from initial concept to completion.
We are specialists in negotiating permissions with Local Authorities and developing the rigorous technical information required for construction. Our role is to bridge the gap between vision and reality, advising on the most suitable contractors and craftsmen to ensure your project is executed to the highest standard.
For initial advice on a project, we offer pre-purchase consultations and feasibility studies. These early-stage assessments allow us to test the viability of a project, providing you with the technical and financial confidence to move forward.
We also provide services for remote or overseas clients, providing peace of mind and local oversight if you are relocating or investing from abroad.
Full Architectural Services
We provide a comprehensive architectural service from concept to completion with our fees typically based on a percentage of the construction cost.
Planning & Listed Building Consents
We are experienced at negotiating Planning and Listed Building consents, using our deep local knowledge to secure approvals for sensitive and complex sites, whilst respecting the value of our architectural heritage.
Building Regulations & Technical Detail
Our technical expertise is vital in securing Building Warrants and Local Authority permissions. We ensure every design adheres to the latest Building Regulations and is built to the best technical standards for highquality construction.
Tendering & Procurement
Once the technical design is finalised, we produce highly detailed packages to facilitate accurate pricing. Whether through a competitive tender process or by direct negotiation with trusted contractors, we ensure you have a robust financial baseline before work begins on-site. Construction & Contract Administration During the build, we act as Contract Administrators, conducting regular site inspections to protect your interests. We work closely with skilled craftsmen and specialist subcontractors to ensure the finished work meets our exacting standards for detail and finish.
Expert Collaboration
Successful architecture is a collaborative effort. We maintain a strong network of trusted professionals — including Structural Engineers, Lighting Consultants, and Landscape Architects—and will advise on their appointment at the optimal stage of the project
Cost Oversight & Communication
Financial peace of mind is paramount. At every stage, often with a Quantity Surveyor, we carry out regular cost checks to ensure you are fully informed of the financial implications of design decisions. For us, clear and honest communication is the foundation of a successful project.
