The initial consultation will establish the 'Project Brief'. A fee proposal can then be prepared based on the brief and the relevant work stages for your project.
A survey of the existing property is essential before carrying out any design work. Existing plans and elevations (if required) will be produced before starting the proposed design work.
Working with your brief, proposed sketch designs will be prepared and discussed with you before finalising the proposed design.
If required a formal planning application can be submitted, on your behalf, to the Local Planning Authority.
A 'Full Plans' Building Regulations package (drawings and specification) describing the construction of the proposed works can be prepared. This would be submitted, on your behalf, to either an Approved Inspector or the local authority Building Control Officer.
A detailed tender package can be prepared (drawings and specification including any fixtures, fittings and finishes) sufficiently detailed for building contractors to price. This allows you to obtain comparable prices from builders. Based on your requirements we can also discuss the most appropriate building works contract for you.
If required, LT Architect can prepare a Building Works Contract and perform contract administration duties under the terms of the contract including; regular site visits, Payment Certification, Architect's Instructions and Completion Certificates.
Lauran is brilliant, was incredibly flexible to our requests and worked with us to ensure the best possible solutions for our designs. Would highly recommend!
Lauren was fantastic with helping us design our rear extension. Nothing was too much trouble. We’re so please with it and would definitely recommend her to anyone.
We would highly recommend Lauran. Lauran provided a very professional service, listened to our ideas and transferred them into real life. Our house is now a home which we enjoy spending time in every day.
