We will visit your home to carry out detailed measured survey and document existing property condition. These measurements will be translated into a set of existing building drawings and form the basis of an outline proposed scheme of potential adaptations for discussion.

With your engagement we will undergo an iterative process of scheme refinement and prepare a full set of plans and elevations for submission to the local planning authority for statutory approvals.

Once we have obtained consents from local planning authority for the proposed scheme, we will overlay more information into the drawing set to create the detailed technical drawing package. The specification and architectural drawings, with junction assembly and specification of building components, are created for the construction process to satisfy UK Building Regulations.

We engage alongside a team of consultant structural engineers to provide a technically deliverable design solution to include any modification of the building envelope and interior.

We assist with seeking statutory approvals from water and drainage authority to ensure any existing public mains infrastructure sewerage assets are not impeded and any adaptations comply with mandated specification and guidance. We assist with guiding you through Party Wall Act process, coordinating with your appointed surveyor to ensure we are compliant with this statutory process before commencing any building works.

The collective set of technical design drawings, specifications and calculations will offer the building contractor a road-map to accurately quote for proposed construction of your new home.

As part of the tender submission, we formulate a detailed descriptive scope document outlining the schedule of works and generate a pricing template which is submitted to all prospective bidders. This schedule enables all quotes to be compared equally and mitigate scope gaps alongside the risk of unknown project costs very early on to ensure we can deliver the scheme to budget. 

We can also suggest prospective contractor with excellent references who will welcome the opportunity to build your dream home.

The full technical drawing set will be submitted for validation before works are carried out. 

The appointed Building Control officer will monitor key stages of the build and carry out site visits until the end of the project to ensure building works are executed following the UK Building Regulations.

We will take care of this process and coordinate with the appointed Building Control Surveyor facilitating any information requests during the build phase.

We like to take very hands-on approach at this stage, working closely with the building contractor and other client appointed suppliers involved to answer queries and streamline the delivery of your new home.

Before works start, we prepare a final detail drawing with your input confirming the dimensional set out and position of all interior fixtures, fittings, and services to ensure this is all coordinated amongst the trades.

We support our clients with procurement for purchasing and sourcing free-issue items to be well prepared enter the construction phase ready with their procured items for install. This is fundamental to maintaining good momentum during the build phase to meet programme targets.

We carry out regular site visits and meetings to monitor the quality of the build and keep you updated on progress, identifying any deviations from the proposed scheme and flagging up any defects.

We ensure good communication between all parties involved and promptly troubleshoot queries while keeping the clients’ finish product goal in mind as a priority.

As part of the on-site monitoring role, we review, assess, and track payments to the building contractor in line with works that have been complated, assessing variations and any changes to ensure tight cost control.
