How we work

We are different to many practices in the way we work.

Through the briefing phase we test the client’s requirements to ensure they are properly thought through, then explore the financial feasibility with detailed cost analysis, and planning feasibility with early stage contact with the local authority planners and conservation officers.

A common approach runs across every project, but the vision for each project is individual. We draw upon our extensive image bank, to collect together suitable precedents to reflect our client’s aspirations, rather than applying the same aesthetic across every project we undertake.

Our design approach is tenacious, testing every parameter and permutation to reach the right solution to meet the brief. The design is tested through a variety of media and then critiqued in-house, to question our decisions and make sure nothing is missed.

We are all about choice. Our extensive library and material bank has something to fit every budget. This approach brings flexibility to our specifications and is focused on adding value. We employ the latest specification and CAD software to ensure our specifications include the latest standards, and our construction drawings are thorough and detailed, focused on pinning things down before they reach site.

Finally, we draw upon an extensive list of contractors, to gather the best team for the job, and have some very good contractors who have consistently delivered over many years.
