RIBA CHARTERED PRACTICE · WORTHING, WEST SUSSEX
| Stage | |
|---|---|
|
1. First conversation |
A phone call. We ask about the property, what you want to change, your budget and your timescale, and tell you honestly whether we are the right practice for it. |
|
2. Feasibility & Options Study |
A site visit, a planning appraisal specific to your address and one recommended design direction, with an indicative build cost. £625 + VAT (£750 total payable), credited in full against your design fee if you appoint us within six months. |
|
3. Design |
We develop the agreed direction and present it in 3D so you can see and understand it before anything is fixed. |
|
4. Your first design, in person |
When the first design is ready, we don’t email it over for you to work out on your own. You come to the studio on New Broadway, and we take you through it on the big screen, at a size you can actually read, with time for every question.
Changes after that are made by email, and when you’re happy you confirm the design in writing. The planning drawings start from there. If getting to Worthing is difficult, we can present at your house or online instead. |
|
5. Planning |
We prepare and submit the application and manage it, including any negotiation with the case officer. |
|
6. Building Regulations |
Technical drawings, structural engineer coordination and the Building Control submission, ready for a builder to price and build from. |
If you want help choosing a builder or someone to check the work as it goes up, we offer tender support and design visits as separate services. We do not act as project manager or contract administrator on residential projects.
Most people arrive with a question that sounds simple and is not: can we do this, will we get permission, and what will it cost to build?
A Feasibility & Options Study answers all three, in writing, in about three weeks.
£625 + VAT (£750 total payable)
Credited in full against your design fee if you appoint us within six months.
