How we work
Seven stages, one point of contact throughout.
Prior to working with you we offer a no-obligations free consultation either over the phone, online or more preferably in person. This allows us to understand your requirements, aspirations and what your budget is. If you’d like to go ahead, projects typically follow the RIBA Plan of Work.

- Visit the site to carry out an appraisal and arrange necessary measured/topographical surveys
- Establish your brief, project aspirations, budget, timescales, and sustainability targets
02
Concept design
- Explore layout options and spatial possibilities through sketches, diagrams, and 3D visualisations
- Agree on the preferred design direction, outline construction methods, and review the project brief

- Prepare and manage the planning application, coordinating with the Local Planning Authority and third-party consultants
