Our Architectural Service: The RIBA Plan of Work, Refined for You
Our approach is built on the industry-standard RIBA Plan of Work, providing a structured and transparent journey to your new home.
Stage 0: Strategic Definition Our journey begins with an informal chat. We'll discuss your aspirations, budget, and the potential of your property to ensure a clear path forward.
Stage 1: Preparation & Briefing We work closely with you to establish a detailed project brief. This crucial stage involves exploring design possibilities, defining your budget, and assembling a first-rate team of specialists, from structural engineers to party wall surveyors.
Stage 2: Concept Design Here, we bring your vision to life. We develop an imaginative design concept and prepare all the necessary documentation for your planning application.
Stage 3: Spatial Coordination We refine the design, adding the technical detail required to bring your project to life. We integrate structural and building services and work with a Building Control Inspector to ensure every aspect meets the highest standards.
Stage 4: Technical Design This is where we get into the nuts and bolts. We produce a comprehensive set of tender drawings and specifications that allow contractors to provide accurate and competitive quotes. This meticulous preparation ensures a predictable and well-managed build.
Stage 5: Manufacturing & Construction With a contractor appointed, we take the lead on site. We provide dedicated project management, overseeing the build, managing the team, and keeping a keen eye on the budget and schedule. We're on site daily to ensure everything is executed to perfection.
Stage 6: Handover & Close Out The finish line. We manage the final stages of the project, including the snagging process and ensuring all legal certificates are in place. We hand you the keys to a beautifully finished home, ready for you to enjoy.
