Five steps, one lead designer.

We walk the site, read the brief back to you in our own words, and test it against budget and planning. The first month ends with a written brief that both sides sign off on, so the design work starts from a shared point.

A measured survey, a ground investigation where needed, and a planning check. We do not start drawing until we know what is on the site, not what the maps say is there.

Two or three design options, tested in plan, section, and model. We meet at the end of each stage to agree the direction before the next stage begins. By the end of design, the building is fixed in principle.

The design becomes a buildable set of drawings. Structural engineers, services engineers, and specialist subcontractors are brought in. The tender package goes out to three contractors.

We stay on site through construction. Regular visits, a defects list at practical completion, and a follow-up visit six months after you move in. The project ends when the building has settled, not when the keys are handed over.
