Consultancy

We look at the land, the budget and what you want from the building, then tell you plainly what is possible. You leave with a written position you can act on, whether or not we go further together. Statutory approvals and documentation are part of this service.

What happens next

1. Brief

   We sit with you, walk the site and write down what the building has to do.

2. Design proposal

   Concepts, scope and a fee schedule on a single sheet you can read in one sitting. Design work is mobilised with 70% of the design fee, it covers our whole design team, not just the architect.

3. Approval

   You approve, or you ask for changes. We revise until the design matches the brief.

4. Mobilisation: 30% to start construction

   Once your design is approved and you are ready to build, a 30% mobilisation payment under a formal agreement secures your team and materials.

5. Construction

   We build, and we post photographs and a note from site so you can see the week's work.

6. Handover

   Keys, drawings, accounts and maintenance notes, assembled into one pack.
