Our Philosophy

The Practice's main objective is to provide our Client with a thorough, professional service: listening to and understanding their needs, applying initiative and imagination to establish and develop the project brief and objectives, giving comprehensive, clear advice throughout the duration of the project and employing due care and diligence in accordance with best practice. A key principle of the practice is a 'hands on' approach in which the direction and control of the architectural service offered on each project is maintained by a partner from inception to completion. We are firm converts to the partnering approach which fundamentally relies upon team working. We believe we can make a significant contribution to team building, towards developing common aims and objectives, and resolve and overcome difficulties to achieve the Client's objectives by non-adversarial methods. To this end: We seek to build and develop co-operative working relationships with all other members of the team. Commit ourselves to achieving a Total Team approach with common objectives. Distribute all relevant correspondence, and issue regular progress reports to ensure that all relevant parties remain fully conversant with budget, programme, progress and other significant matters. Hold regular co-ordination / review meetings with the Client and other team members to provide a proactive response to the Client's needs and set project goals. Engage fully with all other team members in the Value Engineering process to achieve maximum economy consistent with the required standards of quality and durability.
