Make a booking and receive our Project Process Plan together with your pre meeting questionnaire!

Our Needs an Options Appraisal is an exciting opportunity to fully explore your ideas, site and the potential of your project. We normally meet with you for 2-3 hours on site. Through a structured discussion we develop a strategic brief with you, based upon your priorities. This provides the chance to assess all of the opportunities and constraints upon your project, which will inform design decisions before significant costs are incurred.

This process allows us to create a design that meets your brief, timescale and budget. Our tried and tested Project Process Plan, which we share with you in our Needs and Options meeting, walks you through all the building stages, where we will need your input, and what you can expect from us and your builder.

We design every project with the aim of making the construction, and use, as sustainable as possible. This design approach should be viewed as an opportunity too improve, or create your home, making it more comfortable, cheaper to run and life enhancing.

If you're excited to get going then the next stage is to choose which level is right for you below!
