Our preliminary discussions aim to define the project brief and identify the precise services necessary. We will provide a detailed letter of appointment along with a RIBA Fee Proposal for your review. All elements are presented in alignment with the RIBA Plan of Work, forming a clear and professional basis for our collaboration.
Building Regulations
We prepare Building Regulations applications to support the legal commencement of construction, whether through a Building Notice or Full Plans Application. Detailed drawings and notes are provided to guide competent builders, ensuring that pricing and construction proceed accurately. Inspections by Local Authority Building Control confirm compliance with approved documentation throughout the project lifecycle.
Measured Survey
We provide comprehensive measured surveys to establish precise representations of your building, based on a land survey conducted by a certified professional. Preliminary design drawings, comprising plans, sections, and elevations, are developed from this information to support project planning. These documents serve as a tool for discussions on design, cost forecasting, and early dialogue with contractors or planning officials if required.
Working Drawings
We provide a professional working drawings service that can be either fully comprehensive or partially focused, addressing critical bespoke components. Each drawing is carefully prepared to facilitate accurate construction, ensuring that essential design elements are clearly represented and executed with precision throughout the project.
Site / Contract Administration
Our team handles all aspects of building contract administration, including attendance at site meetings and certification of work completed. Support can be full-time throughout the project or limited to essential stages. By prior arrangement, we also offer bespoke consultations, ensuring expert input is available precisely when required.
Contract Administration
Before engaging a contractor, clients should determine if the administration of their construction contract requires an Architect. We assist in both contract negotiation and the competitive tendering process, providing professional advice throughout. By overseeing tender submissions and managing contractual obligations, we ensure that clients benefit from a well-organised and expertly administered construction project.
