We provide a quality service in design and professional expertise to bring added value to your project.

 

Design

We are skilled building designers who can contribute flair and imagination when investigating the feasibility of your requirements and in developing innovative design solutions. For example, we can find extra light and space, suggest a form of construction and materials well-suited to your project, and provide a stylish as well as practical response to your needs.

 

Professional Expertise

We are construction professionals with knowledge of the industry and its organisation, working methods and standards. We can advise and guide you through the complex web of rules, regulations and contractual obligations connected with planning and building.

 

Value

Value comes, in part, from keeping costs within the budget and seeing that a project runs efficiently to completion. It is also about how well the building will function in use, its running costs, life expectancy and resale value. We can make a positive and often considerable contribution to a project in terms of its cost-effectiveness and ultimate overall value.

 

Full Service Cover

This begins with investigating the feasibility of your requirements, developing design proposals and applying for statutory approvals. It includes the handling of tenders for the building work, administering the building contract, and assisting you when the building is handed over by the contractor.

 

Part Service Cover

Although the Full Service Cover has benefits in continuity and consistent quality, the agreement can be as flexible as you wish. For example you may wish to engage us up to and including a Planning Application, a Building Regulations Application, or simply to design and provide feasibility studies and assessments – the choice is yours. We will apportion our fee according to the work stage reached - we do not charge for any work which has not been carried out.

 

Other Services

We have a broad palette of skills and can provide, or arrange, other services connected with your project, such as measured surveys, interior design, lighting design, Kitchen and Bathroom design, space planning, landscaping, etc. Additional fees will usually be chargeable (although we do not usually charge for design work which is an integrated part of the overall service, such as advice on paint colours or external hard landscaping) and would be agreed in advance.

 

Space Planning

We have a considerable knowledge of space planning and design within the commercial sector and have carried out major design projects for large Insurance Companies, Banks, Solicitors, Investment Companies, Commercial Estate Agency practices, and many more.
