Your project is important to us too.
That’s why we espouse a collaborative working approach right through the process, including the building phase.
Certainly, people come to us to get our input into their projects – the form of this is one of being the design facilitator and graphic communicators. We pull the many different strings together and overlay our expertise in energy and sustainable design to make it work cohesively.
Working with you
We are often asked to describe how the process of design works. It is a fairly logical process, not always linear and often with information gathering side trips…
Our job sees us assimilating this large amount of design input into areas of discussion and resolution as the design takes shape. We are considering many things which produce the design synergy that our Clients are looking for in the completed project. Considering sustainable design aspects as early in the process as we can is important just as, at the same time, we are discussing where each room or function will be located for example
The process or working together follows these broad steps;
Initial meeting ...lets talk! Our first meeting is to help us get to know each other
and the nature of your project. We will be pleased to show you examples of our work. All our fees are clarified in written proposals and are agreed in advance
the brief
...it’s your project ! We need your wish list and “the brief’ is in effect your set of instructions for how you see the project
shaping up and includes your wish list, leave nothing out!
design concept
Setting the compass, the design concept is our response to your brief. Your input is vital and is encouraged to help us
produce a design which meets or even exceeds your expectations.
working documents
Design plans, working drawings and specifications are produced to allow the project to proceed to Consent, pricing and construction phases
