For a typical project you should expect a robust process similar to the below. However, should you already have started your project, don't worry, we can pick up from where you left off.
Following a quick call to discuss your brief, we'll carry out a free online review of your property and check the suitability of the proposal.
We will then provide guidance on the scheme and outline your process with an estimate of our fees.
If you're located within North, East or West London areas, we'll then suggest a site consultation, for all other areas we can provide a free online consultation or office consultation. We also find it's useful to be provided with photos or videos of your project so we can provide further advice, feel free to WhatsApp these to us!
Once we understand the proposal, we'll provide an online fee proposal including your instruction form. Complete the form online to get the process underway!
During the design phase we'll got to work delivering the perfect layout for your space. We always listen to your brief and will design to your unique taste (we're all different!)
You'll receive floor plans within just a few days following the visit, we can then arrange an online screen share to discuss comments and update the drawings as you watch!
Using our experience and knowledge we design solutions to a wide variety of problems and challenges. We always seek to ensure the end result beats expectations and use quality controls and a 3 point checking process to ensure accuracy therefore reducing delays.
We'll provide comprehensive building regulation drawings including in depth consideration of materials, workmanship requirements, fire safety, sound insulation, energy conservation and access to and use of buildings.
We always seek to limit potential construction risks when designing your extension and the information is provided clearly and consistent, this means your builder is confident on how to proceed. Our packages have been used over a thousand times, so we know how to provide concise information. We have 100% approval for all our building regulation applications so you can rest assured you're in capable hands.
We can recommend other consultants such as, Structural Engineer, Party Wall Surveyor (TBC), Building Control Improved Inspector and we'll help obtain water authority build overs should it be required.
Once we receive engineers documents, party wall surveyors recommendations or any SAP requirements, we'll complete a final issue of our drawings. These can then be shared with builders for quotes and used throughout the construction works to comply to regulations.
At this point, we'll also submit the drawings to Building Control for the 'plan check'. Should there be any comments for drawing revisions from Building Control, we'll include these free of charge.
Should your builder have any questions at any point, we would be happy for them to arrange a meeting or call our office to discuss these!
