Architecture and feasibility, answered plainly.

It tests whether your brief, property, likely approvals, budget and programme fit together.

We compare options and identify any missing surveys, before developing your preferred scheme.

Next Agree the options to test and the decision the study needs to support.

Reliable dimensions and levels give our design team a shared starting point.

Sales plans are useful background. Do not assume they are accurate enough for coordinated design or fabrication.

Next Confirm the survey scope, including levels and relevant external features.

The property and proposed work decide what we need. This can mean structural, drainage, asbestos, ground, utilities, damp or heritage surveys.

Not every survey is needed on every project.

Next Ask us for a survey schedule explaining the purpose of each investigation.

Planning drawings explain the proposed development, for assessment.

Construction information needs more coordination and detail, covering structure, services, materials and junctions. This is what lets the work be priced and built.

Next Ask us who develops the technical package after planning.

Yes. Often the most useful feasibility work tests circulation, storage, daylight and room relationships. This is within the existing envelope.

Structural and service constraints still need investigating.

Next Ask us to compare a layout-only option with any proposed extension.

We bring them in early to test openings, plant space and floor depths. We also test service routes, before the architecture is fixed.

Late coordination can force changes to ceilings, rooms and budgets.

Next Ask us to identify the technical decisions that could change the layout.

Ask us which visual tools are included in your appointment.

Models or visualisations help explain volume and materials. They do not replace dimensions, samples or technical information.

Next Agree which rooms or junctions need additional visual explanation.

Your appointment sets out the design stages and included review rounds.

Major brief changes after approval can mean extra work and a longer programme.

Next Consolidate household feedback before each design review.

Yes, we design new houses and replacement dwellings.

Feasibility work compares the existing building, proposed accommodation, site constraints and delivery scope. We do this before any construction commitment.

Next Ask us to confirm the new-build service and appointment.

These proposals need a planning, ownership, structural and servicing review specific to your property.

The effect on neighbours, escape routes and building control arrangements can be substantial.

Next Share title information, existing uses and the intended final accommodation.

Approving a stage sets the basis for the next package.

Changes after technical coordination or ordering can mean redesign, wasted work and replacement purchases.

Next Keep a design approval schedule linked to procurement dates.

We identify what makes the scheme work: proportions, light, circulation and key materials.

We test any savings against those priorities. We avoid unrelated substitutions made room by room.

Next Agree a short list of design priorities before value reviews.

We set priorities for useful space, retained fabric, durable materials, energy demand and maintainability.

We compare alternatives over the life of the home. We do not rely on an unsupported green label.

Next Ask us to define measurable priorities and how options are assessed.
