We offer a wide range of Architect led services, and a brief list of these can be found on our service pages. All of these services can be tailored to meet your individual needs, unique personality and project requirements.

BUILDING & CONSTRUCTION STAGES
-
Many people want the professional assurance that comes from using a registered Architect to look after your building throughout its construction stages.Our involvement can be scaled to meet the requirements of the Contract, or type of project. We can act as both Contract Administrator on behalf of the client under a traditional contract scenario, or as a Client Presence onsite with the ability to respond to queries or address any problems that may occur during the construction stages.
This site inspection service has the potential to minimise the risk of the client during the day to day running of the project, allowing them to focus on the end product with the reassurance that the building is being checked against the design drawings for accuracy.
