How we work

What working with us looks like

Four stages, and you will always know which one you are in.

  1. 01

    Brief & feasibility

    What you want, what the site allows and what it is likely to cost. Sometimes the answer is not to build.

  2. 02

    Design & consent

    Design development through to a planning submission, with pre-application engagement wherever it helps.

  3. 03

    Technical design

    Drawings and specification a contractor can price and build from, coordinated with the engineers.

  4. 04

    On site

    Tender, appointment, inspections and certification, through to handover and the defects period.
