Step 1

Understand your requirements

From your initial correspondence with us via email and/or phone, we take the time to discuss and understand your project, your requirements, and find out if there are any site or design limitations we should be aware of.

Step 2

Provide you a quote

We submit a formal Fee Proposal based on the information received or discussed with you over email/phone, or if you have simply requested a quote via our quote form. We ensure our Fee Proposal clearly outlines the expected scope of works so that you are well informed and can easily make a decision on whether you wish to proceed with our services.

Step 3

Carry out a site visit

Once you have accepted our Fee Proposal and formally instructed us on your project, we will arrange a suitable time to visit the site and carry out an initial visual inspection. The site visit allows us to discuss in person, your requirements in further detail as well as familiarise ourselves with the existing structure and the immediate surroundings. It also helps our clients to put a face to a name.

Step 4

Produce and submit the relevant design or survey documents

Once an initial site visit is completed, for our structural design services we produce three structural design documents, all of which are required to be submitted to Building Control for you to gain approval for your proposed works. The structural design documents are as follows:

  • Structural Calculation
  • Structural Drawings
  • Structural Specification Notes


For our surveying services, depending on the type of work you instruct us for, we produce written structural survey reports and prepare party wall awards. The former is issued to you if you are looking for an appraisal of the existing structural condition of a property for the intention of future construction works to be carried out, or if you are looking to purchase or sell property. Party wall awards are issued to the building owner and the adjoining neighbour(s) before planned construction works are due to take place. 

For our architectural and planning services we prepare planning drawings which conform to your local authority planning framework and guidelines. Alongside the planning drawings, we also prepare and submit the relevant planning application on your behalf to your local authority to gain approval. Once approval is granted, and if instructed to do so, we then proceed with the production of the structural design documents and the building regulations drawings, which are all required for Building Control submission and approval.
