About

What type of building work do you have in mind?

Do you have an empty plot and want your own grand design or are you creating your dream home by extending your existing property or simply improving your interiors with a refurbishment?

New Build Extension Refurbishment

Do you have a survey of the building?

When working with an existing building it's best to start with accurate measurements. If you don't have drawings, even plans from an estate agent can be a starting point. If you have neither we can always survey the building ourselves.

Yes, we have a measured survey Yes, we have some estate agent plans No, we don't think so

Do you have a fixed design idea in mind?

If you've got an idea already figured out we can help you realise it. We also take pride in coming up with solutions you might not have thought of.

Yes we have a fixed idea A few thoughts No, we'd like our architect to provide lots of new ideas

Are you planning any works in the garden?

A new build usually requires some landscaping work & an extension can provide an opportunity to improve the relationship with the garden or add that covered seating area you've always wanted.

Yes, we'll be doing some landscaping No, it's just building works We're not sure yet

Is your home a listed building?

If your building is listed or in a conservation area the planning department will need more detailed drawings of your scheme. The only negative aspect of living in a beautiful historic area!

Yes, it's a listed building No, but it's in a conservation area It's not or we don't know.

How bespoke a solution are you expecting?

If you want a truly bespoke solution your architect can make sure that every tile, light fitting and detail is carefully considered. They can also tailor just a few of those details to give you a unique arrangement. An off the shelf solution might be best when you want to take control of the interiors yourself.

Off the shelf Tailored Fully bespoke

How much control do you need over the budget?

Strict budget control requires a fully resolved design before you start building. Taking decisions on site saves on fees but requires a more flexible budget.

We want to work to a fixed budget, possibly with the help of a cost consultant. We would expect our architect to help us stick with a reasonably controlled budget. We want to work with a builder and agree the price during construction.

Does your project include design of a new kitchen and/or bathroom?

Kitchens and bathrooms are usually the most costly rooms in a house so need to be be designed well.

Kitchen Bathroom Neither

Do you have a builder in mind?

Using a trusted builder really helps when embarking on a building project. If you know and trust someone that will certainly help but if not we'll help you chose the right team for the job.

Yes, we've chosen one Yes, we've got a few we're considering No, we'll need some recommendations

Do you want to manage the builder or let a professional do it?

You may be happy managing the construction site and overseeing the builders, or you may find that daunting or overly time consuming. We can be involved as much or as little as you want.

We'll manage them ourselves We want some help with this We'd like the architect to manage everything
