Design & Build

SKILLFULLY MANAGED FROM DESIGN THRU TO COMPLETION

Design & build is far from the traditional approach of hiring individual architects and construction companies, and it’s why we are proud to utilise this approach for both residential and commercial projects.

By offering all project-related services under one roof, we can easily manage your entire project from beginning to end. This management includes architectural planning, designing, planning permission, building regulations, structural engineering, construction, and managing your project to achieve a result that meets your exact requirements in a perfect way.

Architecture

Exquisitely designed areas to capture your vision and maximise value.

Engineering

Input from a technical point of view to save time and money, and provides a beautiful final design.

Planning

We can handle all of your planning permission requirements.

Construction

Finally, we bring your designs to life with only the best craftmanship and incredible attention to detail.

The benefits of Design & Build:

Quicker – Due to the overlap of different design and build stages, your project could be completed up to 50% faster than any traditional approach of speaking with and instructing different companies for each section.

Cost-effective – You will save a small fortune and will maximise your budget by taking full advantage of an established and already optimised working relationship between design and build teams.

Easier – We handle everything for you and will guide you every step of the way. This ensures you’re well informed at each stage and makes it easier for you to say how your project proceeds.

Better – The design and build teams, yet highly experienced in their own areas, understand the importance and requirements for other parts in the project timeline. Therefore, working together, there is a constant maximising and optimising for the best possible outcome to achieve your vision.

Our D&B approach:

We discover exactly what you are looking for in relation to the colours, features, layouts, themes, and overall functionality. We encourage clients at this stage to explain as much as they can so that we take everything on board. We conduct studies at this time for feasibility to ensure that your property, budget, and any relevant planning laws can happily fulfil your requirements too.

Understanding your vision

Step 1
Our team of hard-working designers will start to produce concept designs and initial sketches. This is a very collaborative process where we will work closely with you to develop your ideas into a final set of plans for the construction phase. By all means, during this stage, feel free to select materials and such yourself, with support and advice from our network of key personnel.

Making your ideas a reality

Step 2
We will take the designs and work to create realistic 3D renders to show you exactly what your new space will look like. See something you would like to amend? Not a problem. We're flexible and want to ensure it's exactly how you want. Let us know and we'll make further changes to ensure you're 100% happy.

Re-imagine your dream in 3D

Step 3
The next stage is creating the detailed plans and submitting the associated paperwork to your local council authority (LCA) for approval. We understand the planning permission process like the back of our hands and we'll liaise with the authority on your behalf to ensure we meet their exact requirements and gain approval as quick as possible. If they ask for revisions, we'll make them for you as well.

Submit for planning approval

Step 4
We can internally assess if your project requires building control approval from your local council authority. If required, we will submit the paperwork and all of the accompanying plans, including the engineer's reports and structural calculations, to ensure the faster possible process.

Step 5
Once we're at this stage, you'll receive a guaranteed quotation which will be broken down fully, so you know exactly what costs what. We will also prepare a concise guideline programme and begin organising every part of the build, including, not limited to, on-site staff, equipment, and materials. At the same time, a dedicated project manager will be available to guide you throughout this whole process.

Getting ready to build

Step 6
It's time to build. You can now relax and let our construction team work their magic. Under the direction of the project manager, your project will be professionally managed, meticulously carried out, and seamlessly operated. Then, once you're happy, and only once you're happy, you can sign it off.
