Feasibility
Getting the best value from a site is a key commercial requirement for a project, but has to be aligned with Local Planning Authority policy and the local vernacular.
Planning
The complicated planning system can be extremely difficult to understand. We can help you successfully navigate through the process through our extensive experience of having secured consents for thousands of properties.
Building Regulations
Understanding the constantly changing Building Regulations can be a daunting task. We will ensure that the specification of you building or refurbishment project will comply with the applicable legislation.
Working Drawings
Getting those details right can be the difference between good design and fabulous design. We can hone in on the areas that need that extra design consideration to make sure your building looks perfect.
