The Process

Knowlegde Blog

How It Works

1. Choose which stage to work up to below.

2. Free 15 min consultation to personalise your fee.

3. Discuss any further requirements such as sub-consultants, financing, conveyancing etc.

4. We start designing...

As qualified, vetted architects, we work to the Royal Institute of British Architect’s Plan of Work. This is a system of stages for a project that carefully plans out the key deliverables from consultation through to monitoring the completed building. By being open about this process, we can tailor our service to meet your requirements depending on how much of the build you want us to be involved with; saving cost.

00-01

RIBA STAGE 00-01Strategic Definition
Preparation and Brief

Here, we define the project. What are your requirements? How can we add value? Usually covered in the free 15 minute consultation. Book here.

02

RIBA STAGE 02PLANNING APPLICATION

We go through iterations (we usually allow for 3 rounds of changes) to find the right design for your project. When finalised, we can prepare this design into a Planning Package then act as agent for your planning application.

03

RIBA STAGE 03BUILDING REGULATIONS

Building on the work in Stage 03, we add further detail here to create the drawings necessary for Building Control applications. We can again act as agent.

04

RIBA STAGE 04Technical Design

Here, we produce construction drawings with the most detail. This is particularly useful for bespoke projects where attention to detail is very important. We are usually employed for all stages with this option to ensure the design is built to these drawings.

05

RIBA STAGE 05 Construction

We can manage, tender, administer the contract and/or build your project. However you want us to be employed, we can discuss. Send us an email or call through today.

06

RIBA STAGE 06 Hand Over

We snag the finished build, ensuring the scheme is in an acceptable condition.

07

RIBA STAGE 07 In Use

Environmental design is at our core. So, we can even monitor the performance of the build in the months and years after completion, offering aftercare and recommendations for furture improvement.
