Architecture from first idea to final handover.
Our work follows the RIBA Plan of Work — the industry-standard framework that structures every architectural project from initial brief through to completion. Whichever stage you need us from, we bring the same rigour, care, and attention to detail.
Stage 0 — Strategic Definition
Understanding your project before committing to it.
Before any design work begins, we help you define what you actually need. We assess the feasibility of your project, review the site or building, and establish a clear brief. This stage saves time and money by ensuring the project is viable and well-scoped from the outset.
Stage 1 — Preparation & Briefing
Setting the foundations for a successful project.
We develop the project brief in detail, carry out surveys and site analysis, and establish the project programme and budget. A thorough Stage 1 means that every subsequent decision is grounded in a clear understanding of your needs, your site, and your constraints.
Stage 2 — Concept Design
Turning your brief into a compelling architectural idea.
This is where the design takes shape. We develop concept options, test ideas against the brief, and present a preferred design direction. You will see how your project could look and feel — in plan, section, and three dimensions — before any detailed work is committed to.
Stage 3 — Spatial Coordination
Refining the design and preparing for planning.
We develop the design to a level of detail sufficient for planning submission, coordinating with structural engineers and other consultants as required. We prepare and submit your planning application, manage the process with the local authority, and advise on any conditions or amendments.
Stage 4 — Technical Design
Every detail resolved before work begins on site.
With planning secured, we produce the full technical package — construction drawings, specifications, and schedules — needed to build the project. We obtain building regulations approval, prepare tender documents, and help you appoint the right contractor for your project.
Stage 5 — Manufacturing & Construction
On-site oversight to ensure the design is built as intended.
We act as contract administrator throughout the construction phase — making regular site visits, reviewing progress against the programme, certifying payments, and resolving any issues that arise. Having your architect on site means the finished building matches the design intent and your investment is protected.
