Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before starting your project
For private investors
How do I book a consultation with an architect, and where do we start when working together?
The easiest way is to email or call us. To get started, please provide us with a few details: the location of the plot, whether you have a local development plan or planning permission, and a brief description of your requirements. This ensures that our initial discussion is focused, and we can immediately advise you on the best next step in the design process.
What materials should you prepare before contacting an architectural firm?
If you have them to hand, they’ll speed things up: the plot number or a link to a map, the local development plan or planning permission, as well as details of utilities (water, electricity, sewerage). It would also be helpful to have some ideas and basic requirements: floor area, number of rooms, a garage, and your preferred style. Even if you don’t have everything, you can get in touch straight away; we’ll help you organise it into a logical sequence.
How long does it take to design a house, and what factors influence the completion time?
The time required to prepare a house design depends mainly on the scope of the project and the legal status of the plot. The main factors influencing this are: the availability of documents (local development plan/zoning plan), the number of consultations required, and the pace of decision-making during the conceptual phase. Once we have made contact and carried out a brief analysis of your situation, we will be able to provide a realistic timeline and outline the next steps in our collaboration.
How can I be sure that the house design will really suit me and my plot?
The assurance that your house design will truly be tailored to you and your plot stems from following the correct sequence of steps. First, the site conditions are analysed – its size, shape, sunlight exposure, access to roads and utilities, as well as the provisions of the Local Development Plan (LDP) or the Planning Permission Decision. At the same time, the actual functional requirements, the household’s lifestyle and budgetary constraints are clarified. Only after compiling this data is the architectural concept developed. A design developed in this way is a logical response to specific spatial and formal conditions, rather than a collection of random solutions that are only corrected during the construction phase. It is important to remember that the conceptual phase is a joint effort between the architect and the client. Its duration depends equally on the commitment of both parties.
For business investors
Are you able to optimise the design to maximise the net floor area / gross floor area within the provisions of the local development plan?
Yes. We begin every project by analysing the site’s capacity and planning parameters: building density, height, building line, parking spaces, fire safety and access requirements – this is the first stage of our collaboration. On this basis, we prepare a variant development study that demonstrates the plot’s real potential – not a theoretical one. Only after this analysis do we decide to commence conceptual work. The architectural design is intended to safeguard the investment outcome, not to limit it.
How do you minimise the risk of design changes during the construction phase?
The greatest cost risk arises from uncoordinated documentation. That is why we develop construction and technical designs through close interdisciplinary coordination – structural engineering, services, fire safety, roads, and agreements with network operators. Before handing over the documentation for implementation, we verify it for feasibility and potential conflicts. The aim is to minimise changes on site, which lead to delays and claims from contractors.
Are you able to work within the model required by funding bodies and equity partners?
Yes. We understand that the project forms part of the financing structure. We prepare the documentation and schedule in such a way as to enable progress reporting, monitoring of milestones, and compliance with the requirements of banks and investment funds. We know that delays in administrative decisions or documentation can affect the release of funding tranches – which is why we treat the management of the planning permission process as a critical part of the process.
What is the working relationship like with the main contractor and the client’s team on the business side?
Our role does not end with the handover of the construction design. We work with client teams, project managers and main contractors during the construction phase – we explain the documentation, review alternative solutions and ensure compliance with the design specifications. In a commercial project, the architect is an integral part of the decision-making process. Our role is to safeguard quality, formal compliance and the client’s interests throughout the entire construction process.
