1-2 RIBA Stages

Feasibilities

Site & planning analysis

At the feasibility stage, we assess the viability of a project by analyzing the site, planning regulations, and financial constraints. Conducting site evaluations, reviewing local planning requirements, and identifying opportunities or risks that could impact development are all key services provided at this early stage.

Concept designs and massing studies help test spatial arrangements, ensuring efficiency, functionality, and alignment with our clients' objectives.

These feasibility services support our clients by reducing risk and optimising the site to maximise Gross Development Value (GDV). By providing detailed analysis at the early stage of the project, we help clients make informed investment decisions.

Planning

Design Development & Strategy

At the planning stage, we collaborate closely with our client and the wider project team to transform the initial concept into a detailed, planning‑compliant proposal. We develop design strategies that respond to site‑specific conditions and align with local planning policies. We conduct comprehensive assessments of the site and its context, integrating sustainable design practices and innovative spatial solutions.

We play a pivotal role in navigating the complexities of the planning system by preparing robust planning applications and engaging with local authorities, stakeholders, and other consultants.

Our expertise ensures that the project adheres to statutory requirements and local development strategies, helping to secure the necessary approvals and permissions.

Detailed Design

Detailed Construction Information

During the Technical Design stage, we work closely with our clients and the project team to develop detailed construction information that ensures the project is ready for procurement and construction. We refine the design with precise technical drawings, specifications, and coordination with structural and MEP engineers. Compliance with the building regulations is a key focus, ensuring the project meets all legal and industry standards.

We assist in preparing tender design documents, advising on procurement strategies, and coordinating with contractors to align expectations on quality, cost, and timelines.

We work to resolve any design complexities, refine material selections, and ensure sustainability measures are integrated effectively. This stage is crucial in translating the design vision into a fully realised, buildable solution, while minimising risks, reducing costly changes on‑site, and ensuring the project meets the client’s functional, aesthetic, and financial objectives.

Principal Designer

Health & Safety in Design

As the Principal Designer (PD) under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015), we are responsible for ensuring that health and safety considerations are embedded throughout the design process. This role involves identifying and mitigating risks related to construction, maintenance, and eventual use of the building and includes coordinating with the design team and client to eliminate hazards where possible and reduce foreseeable risks, ensuring compliance with CDM regulations.

As Principal Designer under the Building Regulations, we have a statutory duty to plan, manage, and monitor the design process throughout the design stage. We also take responsibility for liaising with Building Control to secure the necessary approvals for the project.

We lead the design team to ensure full coordination across all disciplines, integrating long‑term maintenance and compliance considerations from the outset. By working closely with other designers and duty holders, we maintain the Golden Thread of building information, ensuring that all key decisions are well‑documented, transparent, and aligned with project objectives.
