Our Architecture Consultancy Process – From Concept to Completion
A successful project follows a clear process from the first conversation to the final delivery. Our step-by-step approach covers early consultations, site studies, design development, documentation, and ongoing construction support. Each stage is carefully managed to maintain quality, budget, and schedule without losing sight of the client’s vision.
Initial Consultation and Needs Assessment
The first stage of our consultancy is understanding the client’s vision, needs, and expectations. We discuss the intended use of the space, aesthetic preferences, sustainability goals, and financial parameters. This conversation sets the foundation for a design strategy that aligns with the client’s objectives. We also identify any constraints early, such as site limitations or specific regulations, so that the design process can move forward smoothly.
Site Analysis and Feasibility Studies
Before committing to a design, we study the site in detail. This includes looking at natural features, surrounding buildings, orientation for sunlight, and environmental factors. We also check planning policies and building codes to ensure compliance. Feasibility studies allow us to determine whether the client’s vision can be achieved within their budget and timeframe.
Concept Development and Design Options
With all relevant information in hand, we create concept designs. These may include sketches, 3D models, or visual renders to help clients understand how their project could look and function. We explore different layouts, styles, and materials so clients can choose the option that suits them best.
Technical Drawings and Documentation
Once a concept is approved, we prepare detailed plans, elevations, sections, and specifications. These documents are essential for obtaining permits and guiding contractors during construction.
Contractor Coordination and Tender Support
We assist clients in finding qualified contractors, reviewing tenders, and ensuring fair pricing. Our role includes advising on contract terms and timelines so that construction starts on a solid foundation.
Ongoing Design Support During Construction
Our involvement continues during building works to answer queries, solve design issues, and ensure the finished structure matches the approved plans.
