Services Offered

*Sketch Plans*

Once we have discussed your proposals, we will prepare outline suggestions for your project, including a sketch drawing of the type of building possible for your site. We will provide you with our terms of business and fee scale, and we are happy to correspond via email or letter. Following your agreement, we will then meet again to gather your more detailed requirements before starting initial proposals. We will conduct a site survey, either ourselves or through a specialist survey company, depending on the complexity of the site and your proposed development.

*Working Up The Scheme*

Our creative process typically involves working up a series of sketch proposals that refine the original concepts in increasing detail. Alternatively, we can propose solutions, offering our own ideas for how your property or site may be developed to its full potential.
