Method
Our process and method
Our approach follows the structured framework of the RIBA Plan of Work, encompassing eight distinct stages that guide the entire journey from initial concepts to a fully realized building:
01
Strategic definition & briefing preparation
We initiate the process by conducting an on-site meeting to gain insights into your project’s essence. Subsequently, we craft a comprehensive Business Case, evaluating viable options, assessing Project Risks, and outlining a Project Budget. Building on these evaluations, we identify the optimal solution that aligns with your requirements, culminating in a well-defined Project Programme and execution strategy.
02
Concept design
Drawing on your input, we create an architectural concept that embodies your vision. This stage integrates Strategic Engineering considerations, harmonizing with the Cost Plan, Project Strategies, and Outline Specification.
03
Spatial coordination
Upon mutual agreement on the concept design, we progress to a meticulous examination phase. Rigorous Design Studies, Engineering Analysis, and Cost Evaluations validate the Architectural Concept. The outcome is a finely calibrated Spatially Coordinated Design, synchronizing with an updated Cost Plan, Project Strategies, and Outline Specification. Additionally, we ensure compliance with building regulations and formulate the Planning application.
04
Technical design
Transitioning to this phase, we advance both architectural and engineering technical design elements. Post-tender, we orchestrate the coordination of Building Systems information among the design team and engage specialized subcontractors. The groundwork is laid for the Construction Phase Plan.
05
Manufacturing and construction
With site logistics finalized, construction endeavors commence. Our hands-on involvement encompasses continuous progress monitoring, rigorous quality assessments, and the resolution of on-site queries.
06
Project management
Meticulous coordination is our hallmark during this stage, where we oversee team dynamics and on-site operations. Weekly client interactions and site visits are integral to our commitment to monitor project advancement and address any concerns.
07
Handover
Marking the culmination of construction, the Handover signifies the completion of works. We align this moment with the Plan for Use Strategy. Rigorous scrutiny of Project Performance, defect rectification, and initial aftercare responsibilities, including a light touch Post Occupancy Evaluation, ensue.
08
Use
Our engagement extends beyond completion. We value continuous feedback from you to enhance our performance and refine our future projects.
