This stage involves us developing a range of possible design options for the proposed site or existing building.

We will be exploring a number of design options for the site or building to fully explore your brief balanced against the physical constraints and opportunities provided by the site.

We will usually develop a series of space planning floor plans and initial 3D concept drawings.

We will be looking to:

meet your brief and aspirations
work within the constraints of the site
offer you alternatives you might not have considered.

We would encourage you to keep an open mind with this stage in the process. Being receptive to new ideas can often produce unexpected but wonderful results. This is a time for thinking and reflecting – we will ask you to communicate clearly what you do and don’t like in our design options. We will be looking to do the same – using our expertise to alert you to any problems or challenges we anticipate and offering thoughtful solutions.

Initial Meeting

This is a ‘no-strings-attached’ first get-together to talk through your brief and vision, discuss the design and build process and outline our services.

Preliminary Design

Once you have settled on a preferred concept, we will refine the design. At the conclusion of this stage, we will have drawings that describe the chosen design.

Developed design

We work closely with you and the quantity surveyor to resolve a design that aligns with your budget. We refine the design and confirm any final design decisions.
