Knowing how to navigate the design and construction process can be daunting if you've not experienced it before, so we hope to offer a source of knowledge, inspiration and reassurance to our clients so that we can help them achieve their goals as swiftly and smoothly as possible.
As RIBA and ARB registered Architects, we have undergone extensive training in order to achieve and maintain professional registration, whilst abiding with our governing bodies' codes of practice.
We work predominantly in 3D CAD so can easily visualise proposals and view them in context, hugely benefitting the design process.
We pride ourselves on providing a friendly, affordable service to our clients and are confident that we can make a positive contribution to any project, whatever the nature, however large or small. If you think we might be able to help you, we'd love you to get in touch.
Our initial discussion is offered free of charge, so that we can advise how we might best be involved.
"As an architect you design for the present, with an awareness of the past, for a future which is essentially unknown"
Norman Foster
We can review your existing property or site and discuss what you'd like to achieve in terms of design, budget and timescale, to assist in defining a brief and outlining a concept proposal. This can be developed into a feasibility scheme, to offer an insight into the practicalities of the project.
We can advise on the likelihood of achieving Planning permission for sites and proposals based on our past experience and knowledge of Island Plan policies. We can then submit pre-application advice requests and both outline and full Planning applications, to suit your particular project's circumstances.
We have extensive Building Byelaws knowledge and are able to prepare and submit the necessary drawings, technical notes and JSAP calculations that are required in order to obtain Byelaws permission, which is required prior to commencing any regulated building works.
Once statutory permissions have been obtained you may require a more detailed package of drawn and written information to allow building contractors to prepare a more accurate price (tender). If you wish, we can also undertake a Contract Administration role to monitor site works to completion.
