Our process

During this stage, we develop the concept further and apply construction zones. We work together with you to create a colour and material chart. We also prepare outline specifications for external and internal materials.

We’ll also assist in appointing other consultants during this stage and prepare all necessary documents, such as drawings, design, access statements and reports for the planning and listed building consent submissions.

A well-prepared construction phase makes all the difference! During the technical design stage, we prepare and complete construction information. This helps to form the basis of the tender.

This is the most time consuming part of our work, where we carefully review every detail of the design: General arrangement plans, wall details, roofs, floors, small power and lighting, joinery, bathrooms, kitchens, window and door details, skirtings, cornices, damp proofing, finishes and other specification – you’re all covered!

We will be inspecting the construction site regularly. There are always surprises on site and we will address them as they arise. We always thrive to ensure a positive working relationship with the contractor and other consultants, as we believe teamwork is the key to a successful project.

We also assist with contract management during this phase which ensures work is carried out as agreed between you and the contractor.

Before the contractor hands the project over to you, we will thoroughly check that the finished work complies with all the specifications. We’ll make sure all necessary certificates are in place and the house is ready and safe for occupation before issuing the practical completion certificate.

Once you’re done moving in, you’ll also benefit from our aftercare service. This includes assistance with any issues that arise during the defects period.
