Every project begins with a conversation. Before any work starts, we'll arrange a visit to your property to discuss your ideas, assess the site, and answer any questions you may have regarding concept drawings and planning applications. Following this meeting, we'll provide a clear, tailored quotation based on your project's specific requirements.
Below is a step-by-step guide illustrating how we take your project from concept through to construction with our architectural design process.

(RIBA Stage 0-1)
Measured Surveys accurately capture the dimensions, layouts, and key features of existing buildings, serving as a vital foundation for renovation, restoration, or new development. This data is essential for creating concept drawings and supports the planning applications necessary for a successful step-by-step architectural design process.

(RIBA Stage 2)
This early stage of the step-by-step architectural design process emphasizes exploring various options, styles, and layouts. This exploration is critical for developing concept drawings that ensure the final design aligns with both your practical requirements and aesthetic preferences, facilitating smooth planning applications.

(RIBA Stage 3)
Planning Drawings are a crucial component of the planning applications process. These concept drawings effectively communicate your project’s design to local authorities, ensuring that your proposal aligns with planning requirements while following a step-by-step architectural design approach.

(RIBA Stage 4)
This set of concept drawings ensures your project complies with all necessary Building Regulation standards, focusing on technical aspects such as fire safety and energy efficiency. Once the planning applications have received Building Control sign off, building works can commence as per the step-by-step architectural design.

(RIBA Stage 4)
We work closely with trusted consultants, including Structural Engineers and Approved Inspectors, to ensure every aspect of your project is carefully coordinated. We'll manage the design team and provide clear communication throughout the planning and technical design process.

(RIBA Stage 4+)
We'll help prepare and review tender documentation, providing contractors with clear drawings and project information to price your project accurately. We'll guide you through the tender process, helping you compare quotations and make informed decisions before construction begins.
