Our Services
We provide a family of services, focused on the different stages of developing and constructing buildings and external landscapes.
Master Planning
Through a number of major regeneration projects, the practice has gained a strong understanding of the process of developing master plans for commercial and education clients. By analysing the site's constraints and opportunities, talking to key decision makers, users and the community we prepare inclusive plans for development. Models and computer generated images also assist in creating a vision at the outset of the design process.
Building Design
By approaching the design of any building using a methodical strategy, we establish the brief, develop design concepts, negotiate with planning authorities, prepare detailed tender and construction information, and manage the design process for its duration. (See a further commentary on the design process, below).
Visualisation
Using a range of techniques we can provide high quality computer generated and hand drawn images of a building. These can be used for planning applications, community consultation, staff briefings or as a design tool. We also have contacts that can produce physical models of buildings or larger schemes.
Building Certification
Within the terms of a JCT contract and as part of a wider appointment we can inspect building works and certify financial valuations, of need when buildings are funded by external financial bodies.
Planning Appeals - Expert Witness
Within the practice there are strong design and technical skills of use in planning appeals when a witness is required to provide evidence for an Inspector. In attending a public enquiry, preparing a proof of evidence and in the preparation of supporting drawings or visualizations, our company can provide an experienced, qualified consultant.
Interior Design and Refurbishments
Although we are strongly committed to interior design as part of the architecture of the building, there are often situations where an existing building needs a new lease of life resulting from an interior design scheme. Our expertise in combining colour, texture, materials and space to lift an interior and achieve functional, exciting interiors. This service can be tailored to a clients requirements but can include concepts, detailed design, finishes specification, furniture and signage design.
