Services

Brief Preperation

• Work with the client to develop a brief. This will involve meeting and listening to key staff to obtain a full understanding of the requirements of the project under consideration. The development of the brief may go through a number of revision stages before it is finally agreed.

• The brief is not just a list of rooms and their sizes. Before a project can be developed with any cost certainty, a full technical brief must be prepared which will detail materials, mechanical and electrical requirements and building performance. Any inadequacies in the brief will be reflected in extra costs of omissions that may be added in as the work proceeds.

• Assist clients with writing briefs even if they are not appointed as architects for the project. It is essential that the brief is prepared by someone with specialist knowledge. The brief is the foundation for the project whether a refurbishment or new-build.

Project Inception

• Advice on the preparation of a digital survey if one does not exist. It is essential to have an accurate survey of the building (if existing) or of the land to be built on so that there are no errors in dimensions or levels.

• Advice on the appointment of other consultants needed for the project.

Building Design

• This will include the design of the building, applying for planning consent, developing the drawings and specifications for tender, advising on the selection of a building contractor, applying for Building Regulations approval and advice on insurances and contract.

Project Management

• Management and administration of the building contract, inspection and quality control of the work in progress through to practical completion and final account.

Feedback Study

• After the building has been occupied for six months, to collate information concerning the building’s performance in respect of cleaning, maintenance, suitability of materials and general design.
