Below we have outlined a typical project and the stages involved. It is based on the RIBA plan of work, which is available to view here. Each phase of the project is categorised into three stages, which relates to our typical fee structure.

Feasibility
RIBA Stage 1 – Preparation and Briefing
We will meet you at the outset to understand the project and what you want to achieve. Understanding your brief is of paramount importance to progress with a positive journey through the project.
RIBA Stage 2 – Concept Design
We will put pen to paper and start design the concept for your scheme. Sharing our design proposals and communicating with you about them is the key to achieving a desirable outcome.
Design
RIBA Stage 3 – Spatial Co-ordination
Journeying towards the key milestone of Planning Approval, we will add more detail to the drawings and co-ordinate the final package of information with other consultants, and of course, with you also.
RIBA Stage 4 – Technical Design
With planning approval secured, we move onto the technical design stage. Further detail is added to the proposals, describing all aspects of the scheme, and making the information suitable for Building Regulations approval and a contractor to price from. Further co-ordination with other consultants and designers is embraced during this stage.
Construction
RIBA Stage 5 – Construction
Everything is set for the construction work to start. We are on hand to support you in whatever capacity during this phase. From ad-hoc site visits when needed to a full programme Of site-inspections and contract administration. It is up to you.
RIBA Stage 6 – Handover
By this point you will be in habiting your new space. We will return to take some snazzy photos and check everything is as you imagined it would be. We will be on hand to assist with anything you need.
