Initial Consultation Report

In our first meeting, we will review and clarify the project brief, highlighting the services required. A letter of appointment together with a RIBA Fee Proposal will be provided for your consideration. The consultation follows the RIBA Plan of Work, establishing a clear understanding and formalising the terms of our professional engagement.

Measured Survey

Report

Our service produces accurate measured surveys of your property, drawing on professional topographical assessments. From these, we create preliminary drawings including plans, sections, and elevations, which form the cornerstone of project planning. These initial designs facilitate design discussions, allow for early budget estimates, and can guide preliminary engagements with contractors or local planning representatives.

Building Regulations

Report

We assist clients with all aspects of planning applications, from preparing presentation drawings to submitting the application to the Local Planning Authority. Throughout the process, we maintain close communication with the case officer to resolve issues quickly. Standard applications are determined within eight weeks, and approval lasts for three years. Conservation Area and Listed Building applications require extra documentation, which we routinely manage.

Working Drawings

Report

Our working drawings service offers comprehensive or selective detailing to ensure that all bespoke or essential elements are accurately represented throughout the construction process. We tailor each drawing to meet client specifications and ensure clarity for the construction team. This service guarantees precision in both partial and full documentation.

Contract Administration

Report

It is crucial to decide ahead of engaging a contractor if an Architect should oversee your construction contract. We offer comprehensive support in negotiating agreements and managing competitive tenders. By administering tender procedures and providing structured advice, we help clients maintain control over contract administration and ensure that the construction process is executed efficiently and professionally.

Site / Contract Administration

Report

We manage your construction contract with professional care, attending scheduled site meetings and certifying works as appropriate. Clients may select comprehensive oversight or engage us only at significant milestones. Our services can also be accessed on a prior-agreed basis whenever specific guidance is required, providing reliable and adaptable support.
