Design / Feasibility Study
To start any project using our architectural design services, knowing what the client wants and their end goals and aspirations is best.
To find this out, we start with a design consultation at your home to discuss your project and understand your requirements and how we can meet them. Once the formal appointment has been initialised and we have obtained your initial project brief, we continue this design process by setting up Zoom meetings where we can fine-tune the scheme and come up with a set of drawings that you are happy with and would like to move onto the next stage. We cover The following points to ensure we get a robust scheme to progress with.
- Obtaining your project brief and requirements.
- Exploring ideas to maximise the potential of your property.
- Gain clarity on the planning implications for your project.
- Discuss your budget and apply this to the strategy for your scheme.
- Advise early in the project the need for any other possible consultant involvement, i.e. structural engineer.
SERVICES
Planning
Following the client’s approval of the finalised scheme drawings, we are ready for the next stage of architectural services, where we can submit the drawings and documents to the Local Authority Planning department for their consideration for planning approval,
We collate all the relevant drawings and documents required for validation and planning approval and submit these on your behalf. We will also monitor the application once it is registered and provide feedback and updates on your application working towards a decision. Should the planners have any amendments needed, we will, as part of our architectural design services, update these following your review and work towards seeking approval.
SERVICES
Building Regulations
Assuming you have received planning permission, the next step is to produce more detailed drawings, which will satisfy building control and allow you to receive a completion certificate once complete, which is a document which confirms that what has been built is safe and as per current building regulations. This is achieved by combining more detailed drawings, a specification and often structural calculations if any steel beams are required.
SERVICES
Tender/Construction
Upon delivering the drawings, the responsibility for appointing and overseeing a contractor on-site would rest with you. This approach enables us to efficiently handle projects across the UK remotely, allowing our clients to manage the on-site work until the project’s completion personally, rather than engaging an architect for such tasks. There are times, however, when a client would like us to attend the site at regular intervals to check on progress and advise on any issues that may arise, which can be agreed on a project-by-project basis.
