Full Architectural Services

An architect with you throughout, for peace of mind and efficient costing.

Understanding your requirements

Everything starts with a conversation. A free consultation kicks everything off - to show us around, explain your needs, hopes and ambitions, discuss the budget and timescales. All with no obligation - get in touch today to chat things through with us.

From there, we put together a bespoke fee proposal for the services you need, throughout the project. These might include:

• Strategic Brief Development, including legal, financial and timescale planning.

• Concept design and feasibility studies

• Design development and Planning

• Technical design and building control approval

• Tender and procurement and defining legal contractual arrangements

• Construction and contract management, program and quality control

• Handover and close, and arranging post-occupancy evaluation

The fees we charge are related the work we do - we can reduce or increase the scope of our services, but this also has an impact on the risk to you as the client.

In our experience, clients save on project costs by working with us to get the design right before starting construction, and avoiding changing things during the build. Very often it turns out that savings are greater than architect’s fees!

Absolute certainty on the overall cost of a project is very difficult to achieve. We can put mechanisms in place to help you manage your cost such as early estimates and well-planned designs. Minimising changes keeps cost controlled and putting aside a contingency sum helps to cope with unplanned occurrences.
