From idea to completion: the six stages of a building project

A clear roadmap of how a home building project runs, from the first conversation to the completion certificate, and where we can help.

Understanding the stages of a project makes the whole process less daunting. Here’s the route we follow with clients, whether we start at the very beginning or join part way through.

A site visit, an honest look at what’s possible, and early budget guidance before anything is spent on design.

A measured survey and sketch options you can compare, each checked for buildability and cost.

Detailed drawings and a planning application, or a lawful development certificate if the work is permitted development.

Building regulations drawings, structural calculations, Party Wall notices where needed, and a firm, itemised quote.

Construction from groundworks to finishes, with project management and building control inspections at each stage.

Final inspection, completion certificate, snagging and a clean handover with all your paperwork.
