Before embarking on construction, we assemble the project team, including the selected principal contractor and subsequent experts required such as structural or fire engineers. Collaboratively, we extend the masterplan into a detailed design phase, meticulously specifying product selections and ensuring adherence to current Building Regulations. 

We create an array of construction details that not only facilitate the building process but also serve as the foundation for any necessary Building Control Applications. This phase represents the project's most comprehensive stage, reflecting our commitment to thorough preparation and a keen attention to detail, aimed at anticipating all possible outcomes and minimizing disruptions during the construction process 

Designing a home often requires approvals from local authorities, with projects of any scale needing various documents and certificates. These may include Planning Applications, Building Control Applications, Design and Access Statements, Heritage Statements, and Construction Certificates.

With 14 years of experience working alongside councils across the UK, we partner closely with our clients to obtain the necessary approvals from the appropriate authorities. 

We can also guide you on whether your project requires a Planning Application or if it qualifies under Permitted Development Rights, which allows you to proceed without waiting for Planning Permission.

Our interior expertise extends across all spaces and their furnishings, encompassing kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, furniture selection and procurement, as well as tailored furniture solutions and art curation. Interiors play a pivotal role in the overall design, serving as the canvas upon which our clients' unique individuality can flourish within their homes.
