Construction

The architect stays on the drawing during the build

Shop drawings reviewed, instructions issued, setting out checked against the model. Where the client wants it, our own construction arm takes the contract — but the architecture is watched either way.

• Site inspection and reporting
• Shop and fabrication drawing review
• Architect's instructions and variations
• Valuation and progress certification

• Site inspection reports
• Reviewed shop drawings
• Instruction and variation register
• Progress valuations

A building, explained — not a folder, delivered

Practical completion, snagging closed out, as-builts drawn to match what is actually there. You are walked through how the building is meant to work before the keys change hands.

• Practical completion inspection
• Snagging and defect close-out
• As-built record drawings
• Client walkthrough and briefing

• Certificate of practical completion
• Snag list, signed off
• As-built drawing set
• Manuals, warranties and keys

The stage almost nobody comes back for

A year in, we return: what the shading actually does in March, where the rain drives, which room the client stopped using. It is the only honest way an office learns anything.

• Defects liability review
• Post-occupancy evaluation
• Building performance check
• Aftercare

• End-of-defects certificate
• Post-occupancy report
• Maintenance schedule
• A named contact, still
