Lapider can act as project managers or employers' agents, project managing works being carried out on site. Usually this follows on from Lapider's architectural services, however, we can act as employers' agents to inspect and independently report on the progress of construction projects that have been designed by others. Lapider will act as project managers, on clients behalf to manage and inspect the works on site. Lapider will administer the building contract using a JCT form of Building Contract.

Since formation in 2003 Lapider has been providing architectural services for both domestic and commercial clients ranging from alterations and extensions, to large scale refurbishments and "new build" designs. Lapider works closely with our clients to produce designs that are tailor made to clients' needs. We understand that clients' wishes are paramount and do not try to force our ideas upon them. We work with clients to achieve designs that meet their needs, are cost effective and functional.
