Choosing the right service
Start with construction and design for a new building. Choose renovation when updating finishes or building services in existing premises. Changes to floor area, structural elements or the use of a building should be considered as reconstruction.
Defining the scope
Your brief determines whether the commission covers design, an individual stage or several connected activities. Materials, equipment, quantities and deliverables are agreed before the relevant stage begins.
Getting started
Send the property type, location, a short description of the changes, plans and photographs. If documentation is not available, say so: we can first identify the measurements and information needed for further discussion.
How the services fit together
Design, construction and renovation are connected. The layout determines building services locations, services affect preparation for finishes, and material choices affect the sequence of work. An agreed brief helps divide responsibilities between specialists.
An initial discussion can start with a property description, a plan or measurements, photographs of its current condition and a list of intended changes. These establish which design tasks, construction stages and deliveries need to be included.
