OUR PROCESS
HOW WE WORK
INTRODUCTIONS
Our initial meeting helps us evaluate your property's potential and really understand your wish list.
We can chat via phone, Teams, email or visit in person with feedback that focuses achievability options, likely costs and advice for other essential services such as Arboricultural or Bat Surveys to help you make informed decisions about your project.
Our initial recommendations are free and you’re under no obligation to work with us.
MEASURED SURVEY
If you like our approach and want to work with us, a full dimensional analysis of the building and site is booked to produce scaled as-existing drawings. Accurate building and site data give us the tools we need to start our design process, plan landscapes and underpins your Planning and Building Control applications.
CREATIVE ROADMAPPING
We like to book another visit to finalise your design brief and wish list in detail and answer any questions you might have, before bringing your ideas to life with simple concept ideas, plans and sketches.
CONCEPT DESIGNS
We start developing the design in our drawing studio and create detailed floor plans, sections and scaled elevations for you to review and feedback. We’ll give you draft designs within three weeks and work closely with you to make it perfect over several timely design review sessions.
DESIGN FINE TUNING
Our designers will work closely with you to refine the drawings and ensure they meet your requirements.
Once you approve the design, we will prepare all necessary reports and supporting documents for a complete planning application. We will also accommodate any final tweaks or changes during the designated grace period between sign-off and submission.
We collaborate with you on the final design, paying close attention to detail, and aim to complete it within 6 weeks.
PLANNING SUBMISSION
