Successful projects require clear and considered plans. We put our clients’ needs at the heart of our work, partnering closely as we develop final designs, agree detailed timelines, and create an intelligent plan for the work ahead. This stage of a project typically includes:

• making recommendations for capitalising on your property’s potential

• establishing a design brief, and selecting an architect

• coordinating with any required specialist consultants, e.g. arboriculturists, structural surveyors etc.

• preparing, submitting, and managing planning applications

• developing an initial programme of work and budget

Choosing a builder with the right skills - and that you trust - is critical to a smooth-running project. We will seek and review the options, assessing them for cost, capability, and quality of work. During this phase of a project we will also:

• carry out tender review, preparing an assessment of the options for your consideration

• develop a detailed schedule of works

• finalise contracts and payment terms with the chosen contractor

• help source kitchens, sanitary ware, floor finishes etc.

Regular site visits will be carried out. We’ll conduct quality inspections and closely track the progress of your project, supplying you with timely programme and cost updates. With construction work underway, we will also:

• track invoices and payments to contractors and consultants

• manage and record any variations during the project

• undertake all contract administration, including issuing necessary certificates and notices

• coordinate the delivery of materials to site

• manage final snagging lists and financial reconciliations
