Architectural Services

We provide a comprehensive architectural service for both residential and commercial projects, guiding clients from initial feasibility through to completion and occupation. Our services are outlined below following the RIBA work stages.

Stage 0 – Strategic Definition

We begin by understanding your objectives, budget, programme, and site constraints.

Stage 1 – Preparation and Briefing

Working closely with clients we develop the project brief, assess planning and regulatory requirements, undertake site analysis, and establish the key project parameters. Through feasibility studies we help establish a clear direction for the project.

Stage 2 – Concept Design

We translate aspirations into innovative and practical design proposals. At this stage we explore layouts, form, appearance, sustainability measures, and spatial arrangements, refining options to create a clear design vision.

Stage 3 – Spatial Coordination

The preferred design is developed and coordinated with structural, building services, and specialist consultants. We prepare planning applications and ensure the design responds effectively to technical, operational, and regulatory requirements.

Stage 4 – Technical Design

Detailed construction drawings, specifications, and technical information are produced to support tendering, procurement, and construction. We coordinate consultant information to ensure a fully integrated design package.

Stage 5 – Manufacturing and Construction

During construction, we provide contract administration and site inspection services where appointed, reviewing progress, responding to technical queries, and helping to ensure the project is delivered in accordance with the approved design.

Stage 6 – Handover

We assist with inspections, snagging, certification, and practical completion, supporting a smooth handover and occupation of the completed building.

Stage 7 – Use

Post-occupancy support can be provided to review building performance, address any operational issues, and help clients maximise the long-term value of their investment.

Project types

We work across a wide range of sectors, from homes and extensions to heritage, commercial and hospitality projects. Whatever the scale, every project starts with a strong narrative rooted in its place and is carried through to carefully crafted detail.
