which is why we have developed a clear and comprehensive process to guide you through every step of the way

After the design concept is finalized, the builders team will conduct high level costing. This is important step that tests the Concept design against the estimated budget.
4 | Planning
The planning stage is where we check all planning requirements for the given site or a house. We will check for permitted development rights or if a conservation area, green belt or a listed building consent is required. We will also check if the Article 4 is in force in your area. We will prepare a planning drawings set and the Design and Access Statement with all other necessary documents.
5 | Building Control & Fire
We will ensure that the technical design delivers everything that is agreed in the architectural and the interior concept design. We will liaise with the structural engineer and ensure that all technical drawings comply with latest Building and Fire regulations.
