Our Process

At P3, we offer an end-to-end service, guiding our clients through the entire process from initial consultation and quote to support during the build. We aspire to provide a seamless service, providing advice to secure planning permission and using our expertise to support a solid build.

Our process is divided into five stages:

1. Initial Consultation: An initial meeting to discuss requirements and potential opportunities/constraints on the development, followed by clarification of the design brief and scope of works.

2. Existing Measured Surveys: Conducted to ensure accurate designs and elevations.

3. Concept Design: Sketch outline proposals based on the initial design brief, exploring further design ideas and discussing feasibility, budget, and planning.

4. Submission of Planning Submission: Finalising detailed proposals for submission, validating the application, and acting as client agent throughout the process.

5. Building Regulation Approval: Ensuring compliance with regulations and obtaining necessary approvals for the project.
