Once the fees are accepted, we begin the preliminary design process, this entails visiting the site and taking site measurements and levels, or in case of an alteration, measuring up the entire existing house. We'll also visit the council and obtain all relevant site information.
At this stage we'll have another design brief meeting where you can share your ideas with us. We then prepare a preliminary design plan and elevations as a starting point for the design, based on the brief.
This stage is presented as a starting point and is to expand and firm up on design ideas before developing the design further.
