Realising your dream home

Commissioning an architect can be daunting but it needn’t be. We work collaboratively with homeowners, ensuring you understand the process, have clear cost certainty and all the support you need, every step of the way. With us, we’re a team.

Inspiration –
Feasibility & concept designs

Your project starts when you get in touch with us. We will meet you at your home to talk through your vision and get an understanding of your budget, sharing some initial thoughts. We then prepare a project brief, a concise professional document, that meets RIBA chartered practice guidelines and details our offer of professional staged services.

If required, we will undertake feasibility work which explores in more detail project options, costs and planning constraints.

Once appointed, we conduct a building survey using the latest 3D CAD technology. We then produce a 3D model and explore design concepts for your future home and set out a road map of what is involved to take your project to the next stage.

Detail –
Designs & Planning Applications

Once we’ve agreed your preferred concept, the next stage is to prepare the detailed designs for you. We’ll produce scale plans and 3D visuals for you, so you’ll be able to truly visualise how your new home will look, both inside and out. We also aim to get projects costed in detail at this stage to ensure that our architecture designs are on budget.
 
Once the designs are finalised the next task is to secure planning permissions. Our local expertise and networks, together with the involvement of planning consultants early, means that we have an excellent track record in securing difficult approvals.

Technical –
Technical Drawings & Specifications

Once your planning application is approved, we develop detailed technical plans and specifications. These ensure that the design will satisfy building regulations, guarantee rigorous quality control and also allows us to verify the cost of the project so there are no nasty surprises later on.
 
Together, we go through everything in detail. Our aim is to make sure we cover everything so that you can avoid last minute decisions on site, which can add stress and cost to a project once in build. Don’t worry, we will make recommendations to ensure you are not overwhelmed by the sheer abundance of information available.
 
At the end of this stage, we issue a building regulations application to secure the technical consents that you need to move the project forward.

BUILD –
TENDERS AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT

It’s time to turn your dreams into reality! To get your project off to the best possible start, we prepare a comprehensive set of tender documents and put together a shortlist of local contractors best suited to your project.

We will review the tenders and help you choose the right contractor for you. We’ll make sure they have fully understood your requirements and that there is a clearly agreed contract price and completion date.

Leave the worry to us and enjoy peace of mind with our construction project management service. We manage your project for you, keeping your build on track, on budget and on time.

We want you to enjoy your build process and see the excitement build as your dream home comes to life.

We both were delighted with the plans that Kate Cooper drew up for our new extension. We live in a converted chapel and wanted to be sure that any extension to our living space would not look out of keeping with the original, simple design. We were impressed that Kate faithfully incorporated our needs, wishes and concerns into account when producing the initial drawings. We were delighted when she suggested design ideas that improved the look and function of the space that we had not even contemplated! The process was open and flexible with ample opportunity to discuss and change details so that we ended up with something we were really pleased with. The result is a design that is attractive and functional and will really change the way we use our home.
