Project Stages

The following is a brief guide to the main stages of a building project and is intended to give an indication of the architectural and surveying services provided. It should be made clear these are general guidelines only and do not specifically relate to any particular project.

Stage one: DESIGN
With extensions and alterations to existing properties, it is usually necessary to measure up the relevant parts of the building and prepare a plan of the current layout and elevations. Depending on the clients requirements, sketch designs and proposals will be prepared giving a brief indication of options available with relevant notes such as rooms sizes, heights, distances to nearby buildings, possible construction difficulties, planning objections etc. Elevations may also be provided to give an indication of the overall appearance and, where necessary, a typical section through the structure.
