Stage 0 – Getting Started

We talk through your vision, your site, your goals, and your budget. We’ll look at what’s possible, what’s realistic, and outline the best approach for your project.

Benefit:
You’ll know exactly where to start and have a clear plan for moving forward with confidence.

Stage 1 – Defining the Brief

We set out exactly what the project needs to deliver—whether that’s a home for you, a property for sale, or multiple units for rent. We also gather essential information like surveys and planning constraints.

Benefit:
You’ll have a precise brief that keeps the project focused, on budget, and aligned with your goals.

Stage 2 – Concept Design

We create initial ideas, sketches, and 3D models so you can see how the project could look and work. This stage explores layouts, style, and overall design direction.

Benefit:
You’ll be able to visualise your project early, making decisions with clarity and excitement.

Stage 3 – Developed Design

We refine the chosen design, making sure it works technically and fits planning requirements. We will advise you on any risks and additional information required for planning. We then prepare and submit your planning application.

Benefit:
Your design will be planning-ready, with fewer risks of costly redesigns later.

Stage 4A – Technical Design

We produce detailed construction drawings, specifications, and schedules so the builder knows exactly what to do, what to use, and how it all fits together—minimising delays and misunderstandings on site.

Benefit:
Clear instructions mean smoother construction, better quality, and fewer surprises.

Stage 4B – Tender Management

We help you manage the tender process, invite builders to bid, evaluate their proposals, and negotiate contracts to find the best fit for your project.

Benefit:
You’ll select the right builder with confidence, securing competitive prices and clear agreements.

Stage 5 – Construction

The build gets underway. We can carry out site visits, value the works and resolve any issues to keep the project on track and in line with the agreed design.

Benefit:
You get peace of mind knowing payments are handled properly, any problems are resolved quickly, and the build is progressing to plan.

Stage 6 – Handover

Once the build is complete, we make sure everything is finished to the agreed standard and ready for you—whether that means moving in, marketing for sale, or letting.

Benefit:
You can take possession of a fully completed, high-quality building ready for its intended use.

Stage 7 – Aftercare

Even after completion, we can help with snagging, future changes, or advice on maximising the property’s potential.

Benefit:
Continued support ensures your investment performs well long after completion.
