RIBA Plan of Works Key Stages

At this stage, we develop detailed designs and drawings, including plans, elevations, sections, and 3D visuals, to fully realise your project. We prepare a Design and Access Statement, the coordination of all other consultants' work, along with Fire and Project Risk Assessments, to support your planning application. We also handle the submission to local authorities and provide guidance on statutory obligations, including CDM regulations and cost control, ensuring a thorough and well-managed planning process.

We develop the technical details of your project, including schedules and specifications for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical services. Our team prepares interior finishes, lighting plans, and window and door schedules, ensuring every detail aligns with your vision. We also guide you through the building control application process and conduct a pre-construction risk assessment. If needed, we assist with party wall and build-over agreements, providing comprehensive support at this critical stage.

We manage construction monitoring and contract administration, ensuring your project is built as designed. Through regular site visits and monthly progress reports, we keep you informed at every stage. Our team oversees tendering, contract preparation, issuing instructions, handling claims, and leading progress meetings. We also coordinate site inspections and issue payment certificates, ensuring you only pay for completed work. Finally, we impartially administer all contract terms, including Practical and Final Completion and the Rectification Period, ensuring a smooth handover process.

Planning Permission

What Clients Say:

Olivier and his team did an outstanding job refurbishing my Grade II listed property in central London. They expertly navigated the complex application process, securing permissions with a well-structured case. Their innovative layout suggestions and contemporary touches and lighting ideas complemented the historic character of the flat. Highly recommended!
