Brief
We take care to ensure that we fully understand your project from the outset. Building a home is very personal and it is imperative that we start the process by understanding everything you wish to have.
Concept & Full Design
This is the stage where we start to explore the design of your home, both inside and out. We will explore the concept design in a 3D model and then present our ideas to you.
Statutory Consents
Securing planning permission and listed building consent is key to your project’s success. We guide you through the process and liaise with authorities to achieve the best outcome.
Construction
Working closely with the builder and consultant team, we work to ensure that the vision detailed on the drawings is carried out to the high expectations of us and our clients.
Handover
At the end of construction, we guide you through a handover period—helping you settle in, understand your home, and maintain it for the long term. We know which systems work best and which to avoid.
