....our creative process.
Introduction - this is a free consultation where we meet with you to discuss ideas for your project.
Concept design - in this stage ideas are sketched out, questions answered and possibilities explored. It is a chance for us to look at many creative possibilities and bring our knowledge to the table.
Scheme design - once the design strategy and budget are agreed we put together a more detailed proposal and a planning application may be made if this is required.
Detail design - a more detailed plan is drawn up and building regulations are addressed. If necessary a structural engineer may be involved at this stage.
Production - this is when we look at the materiality of the project. Finishes and fittings are discussed and we can give technical advice. This can be a fun stage for the client.
Construction - once the client is happy with the budget and design and any required planning permission has been granted the construction can begin.
I personally manage the entire build process and carry out the majority of the building work myself, I focus on one project at a time. I feel that this creates a unique experience for the client as I have seen the project through from conception to completion and am therefore as passionate about it as the client.
