Architectural DOVE consult
DOVE offers an Architectural Consult at your property with the Principal Architect to ensure a productive relationship and understand your project’s specifics, leading to the commencement of the design process.
DOVE will start by visiting your property to undertake a measured survey of the building which will be drawn up using our 3d cad software.
DOVE will work through a series of creative ideas that will investigate how to achieve the best results, both for the occupants and the building itself. We are very aware of achieving best value and are always conscious of the ceiling value of a property.
DOVE has a strong relationship with the local councils and through their high quality drawing submissions and developed relationships they have an incredibly high success rate for planning applications being approved.
Once planning approval has been gained DOVE move forward with the more technical side of the design. This involves ensuring that the conceptual ideas are followed through in the construction detailing of the project, this is particularly important for contemporary projects.
DOVE offer a Full Architect’s Service which includes all of the above services and full management of your project onsite through to completion.
All our fees are ex VAT so 20% will be charged in addition.
