Conceptual and Developed Design + Planning

Stage 1

Each and every design component will affect your council’s decision-making and might just be the tipping point between success and failure. Therefore, we see architectural design and town planning as inseparable elements.

We will be collaborating with you to come up with a design that fulfils your wishes while being acceptable to the council. Throughout this process, we will continuously check back to your design brief, and assess, adapt and refine your design into a feasible project.

And after the application has been submitted, we will work with the planning officers to dispel any doubts they have about your project, so that they are happy to grant consent.

Depending on the complexity of your project, we may recommend submitting a pre-application. This will enable us to make amendments to your proposal prior to making your full planning application. By doing this, your officers will be more supportive of your proposal than they might otherwise have been.

Technical Design + Building Regulations

Step 2

When your planning application has been approved, we will move onto the technical design stage where your vision will be transformed into something ready to build.

You will have a full set of building regulations, tender and construction drawings with your full specifications detailing all materials that have permanent connections to the structure of the building including doors, windows, downlights, switches and sockets, radiators, floorboards, tiles, and kitchen and bathroom fixtures.

We will also send a 3D walkthrough model of your project for you to explore on your phone, tablet or computer that will give you a vivid idea of how the space will look and feel, so you can be sure that what’s been designed is exactly what you want.

We will then invite up to six qualified and reputable contractors to tender for your project. Throughout this stage, we will advise you on the most appropriate balance between time, quality and cost.

Contract administration + Construction Instruction

Stage 3

Once we have the tender quotes from builders, we'll move on to contract administration. Based on our rigorous criteria, we will double-check that the builders are the right fit for your project.

We will then shortlist two or three options and invite you and the builders to our office to review their quotes together, to better help you decide which contractor to appoint.

Construction work can sometimes feel chaotic and uncertain, so to put you at ease, our team will carry out periodic site visits, solve building work challenges and approve milestone payments for you.

We will draw on our experience and use proven methods to help you avoid any possible issues that may arise onsite. That way, you can build with minimal stress, complete your project on time and avoid budget blowouts.

I recently worked with HBBI on our home remodelling project, and I am thrilled with the outcome!
