Why an architect ?

If you are considering doing work of any sort to a building - whether new or existing - you should consult an architect. We will not only listen to your ideas, but also be able to suggest alternative options. It is also part of our service to help with planning permission and building regulations, and to ensure that the plan that is decided upon is strictly followed by the builders.

Our role

We will prepare a timetable and details for planning permission/building regulation applications, as well as developing designs, working drawings, and models; determining the cost of exercise and the deadline.

We also advise on appropriate procurements methods and prepare tender documentation, obtaining tenders and advising on them. We negociate with potential builders and draw up a building contract. Once the work has begun we will inspect the site and the progress made. Our role includes administering the buildng contract, submitting financial reports, giving advice on maintenance regimes, and finally providing drawings of the building as built.
