Initial Consultation Report

Our initial consultation serves to articulate the project brief and identify the necessary services. We provide a letter of appointment and a RIBA Fee Proposal for your assessment. All elements are presented in line with the RIBA Plan of Work, ensuring clarity and agreement on the basis of our professional arrangement.

Measured Survey

Report

Using topographical land surveys performed by local experts, we generate precise drawings of existing buildings to inform the early stages of design. Preliminary layouts, such as plans, elevations, and sections, serve as a foundation for developing proposals. These designs can provide a clear basis for cost projections and initial consultations with builders or planning officers, ensuring informed project decisions.

Building Regulations

Report

When a planning application is necessary, we prepare detailed presentation drawings and submit the application directly to the Local Planning Authority on your behalf. We liaise closely with the assigned case officer throughout the process to swiftly address any issues. Standard applications are determined within eight weeks, and approval remains valid for three years. Applications for properties within Conservation Areas or Listed Buildings require additional documentation, a process we routinely manage.

Working Drawings

Report

With our working drawings service, we produce both comprehensive and partial documentation to accurately detail essential bespoke components. This approach ensures that every critical aspect of a project is clearly illustrated, enabling seamless construction and adherence to design intent.

Contract Administration

Report

Determining the need for an Architect to manage your construction contract is an important consideration before approaching a contractor. We provide expert support in both negotiating contracts and handling competitive tendering. By offering structured advice and administering the tender process, we ensure that every aspect of contract management is handled with professionalism and precision.

Site / Contract Administration

Report

Our service encompasses the administration of building contracts, attending routine site meetings, and issuing certifications for work carried out. Clients may opt for continuous involvement or limited engagement at essential stages. We also offer flexible support, allowing you to call on our expertise whenever it proves necessary, arranged in advance by agreement.
