Full Architectural Service
RSDS Architects provide a full architectural service, taking your project from initial concept, through to completion: taking care of planning, building control, construction, and inspection.
Stage 1. Design Brief and Concept
This is where your vision starts to take shape. During this initial phase, we’ll meet with you to discuss your ideas, needs, and preferences. Our goal is to develop a clear design brief that reflects your aspirations and requirements. We will conduct a site analysis and explore various design concepts, ensuring that we maximize the potential of your space while staying within your budget.
At RSDS Architects, we pride ourselves on listening closely to our clients. We ensure that your input is at the forefront of the design process, resulting in a concept that truly feels like your own.
Stage 2. Developed Design
Once the concept is agreed upon, we move into the Developed Design stage. Here, we refine the chosen concept into a more detailed design. This involves specifying materials, finishes, and building systems, as well as developing detailed floor plans, elevations, and sections. We also consider planning permissions and regulatory requirements, making sure the design complies with all local regulations.
Our team at RSDS Architects works collaboratively with you throughout this stage, keeping you informed and involved in the decision-making process. We ensure that every detail aligns with your vision and that any necessary adjustments are made before moving forward.
Stage 3. Technical Design and Tender
This stage is where we turn the approved design into a reality. The Technical Design phase involves creating detailed drawings and specifications that will guide the construction of your home. We also prepare tender documents and invite contractors to bid on the project. This ensures you get the best quality and value for your investment.
Our architects are here to advise and support you during the tender process, helping you choose a contractor that aligns with your project’s goals and budget. We also oversee the preparation of a robust contract that protects your interests.
Stage 4. Construction and Handover
The final stage is where your vision comes to life. We oversee the construction process, ensuring that the work is carried out according to the approved design and to the highest standards of quality. Our team manages any issues that arise on site, conducts regular inspections, and provides updates on progress.
At RSDS Architects, we are committed to seeing your project through to the end. We coordinate the final inspections, handle the handover process, and ensure that you are completely satisfied with your new home.
