What we do

A full range of design and consultancy services.

From the first sketch to the final handover, we offer the expertise to guide your project at every stage.

Building Design

We work closely with you to develop a design that reflects your vision, your site, and your budget. From initial sketches through to detailed construction drawings, we manage the full design process with care and precision.

  • Concept design and feasibility
  • Planning drawings and submissions
  • Detailed construction documentation
  • Specification writing

Planning Consultancy

Navigating the planning system can be complex. We provide expert guidance at every stage — from pre-application discussions with the local authority to managing your full planning application and any appeals.

  • Pre-application advice and strategy
  • Planning application preparation
  • Liaison with planning authorities
  • Appeals and further information responses

Project Management

We oversee your project on site to ensure it is delivered to the agreed design, on programme, and within budget. Our involvement gives you confidence that the quality of the finished building matches the quality of the design.

  • Contractor procurement and tendering
  • Programme and cost monitoring
  • Site inspections and quality control
  • Handover and snagging

Interior Design

Good interiors are an extension of good design. We work on the spatial layout, material palette, and detailing of interior spaces to create environments that are both beautiful and practical.

  • Spatial planning and layout
  • Material and finish selection
  • Bespoke joinery and furniture design
  • Lighting design guidance

Feasibility Studies

Before committing to a project, it pays to understand what is possible. We carry out thorough feasibility assessments to test your brief against your site, budget, and planning context — giving you the information you need to make confident decisions.

  • Site appraisal and constraints analysis
  • Planning context review
  • Indicative design options
  • Budget and programme guidance

Sustainable Design

We integrate sustainable thinking into every project from the outset — not as an add-on, but as a core part of how we design. Our aim is to create buildings that are energy-efficient, comfortable, and built to last.

  • Passive design strategies
  • Energy performance assessment
  • Renewable energy integration
  • NZEB compliance guidance

Contract Administration

We act as contract administrator on building contracts, managing the relationship between client and contractor, certifying payments, and ensuring the works are carried out in accordance with the contract.

  • Contract preparation and execution
  • Payment certification
  • Variation management
  • Practical completion and final account

Conservation & Restoration

We have experience working with protected structures and historic buildings, balancing the need to preserve what is significant with the practical requirements of modern use. Every conservation project is approached with sensitivity and rigour.

  • Protected structure assessments
  • Conservation and repair specifications
  • Liaison with conservation officers
  • Adaptive reuse and refurbishment
