(A-06) Stages
Sheet 06 / 12
From site visit to handover.
One team from the first walk on site to the last snag. Each stage starts where the last one ends — nothing is handed over blind.
Typical project
12 — 24 months
01
2 — 4 weeks
Brief & feasibility
We walk the site, test what the plot allows and agree a brief, budget and programme.
02
4 — 8 weeks
Concept design
Sketches, models and a first plan: three options, one clear direction.
03
3 — 6 months
Planning & technical
Permits, engineering and the full drawing set builders price from.
04
6 — 18 months
On site & handover
Weekly site visits, every detail checked, keys handed over with a building manual.
Keys handed over →
(A-07) Principles
Sheet 07 / 12
Good buildings are quiet about how hard they work.
P-01
Site first
We read the plot before we draw: sun path, wind, views, neighbours and what should stay.
P-02
Honest materials
Timber, brick, lime and stone that age well and can be repaired rather than replaced.
P-03
Low carbon by default
Every project gets a whole-life carbon budget at concept stage, and we design to it.
P-04
Built to outlast us
Loose-fit plans that can change use over a hundred years without coming down.
(A-08) Drawings
Sheet 08 / 12
Every building starts as a line.
We still draw every plan by hand first. Scroll to a plate and watch the drawing turn into the building it became.
