THE PROCESS

Managing a construction project involves numerous tasks and processes, making it essential to stay organised and efficient. At our firm, we follow the RIBA Plan of Work, a well-established framework that provides a structured approach to project management. This industry-recognised plan ensures that every stage of a project is clearly defined, resourced correctly, and executed to the highest standard.

We offer a full architectural design service that covers all key stages of a project’s life cycle. From the initial design and town planning stages through to the detailed design package, works on-site, and final completion, we work collaboratively with clients, consultants, and contractors to deliver high-quality solutions.

The RIBA Plan of Work consists of eight distinct stages, each addressing a specific phase of a project’s progression from start to finish. Each stage has its own tasks, processes, and outputs, making it a valuable management tool and a clear road map for all members of the project team. By following this structured process, we ensure that project goals are clearly understood and achieved.

The Plan of Work is highly adaptable and can be tailored to suit projects of any scale and complexity, whether it’s a small residential build or a large-scale development. This flexibility allows us to apply the framework in a way that meets the unique requirements of each project while maintaining consistency and quality.

We adhere to the latest RIBA guidelines to ensure that our processes align with industry standards and best practices. Whether you are embarking on a new build, renovation, or expansion, our approach guarantees a seamless journey from inception to completion and handover.
