Where to start:
The Needs & Options Review
In the same way that a surgeon would not operate without first diagnosing symptoms, experience has taught us the importance of rigorous research prior to any design work.
We have formalised the process of information gathering, research & diagnosis into a service called a Needs & Options Review. This supports the decision-making processes and serves as the foundation for a successful project outcome.
The service starts with meeting you on site and concludes with a written report.
How it works
We will:
- First listen, to understand your practical as well as emotional requirements and aspirations; explain and then identify your required return(s) on design and help clarify these into a brief.
- Discuss and identify any constraints as well as opportunities.
- Explore pre-design/conceptual ideas and any options.
- Discuss what (if any) planning approval(s) are required or whether the proposed project falls within permitted development.
- Outline how the design process works, timings and stages involved e.g. obtaining local authority approvals.
- Help to clarify the level of architectural service you may require for the project, and provide a fee quotation.
- Identify and discuss the likely need to involvement of other consultants e.g. structural engineer, energy assessor.
