Services

Services offered include the full range, programming, planning/site plan approval, building control/permits, design and construction documents as well as assisting the client to obtain bids and contract administration, post occupancy evaluation. There are overlays for sustainability or information, summarised: https://www.ribaplanofwork.com/
As needed, a team is formed with engineering and services consultants with optionally landscape/geotechnical, lighting, interiors or others involved. The preferred method is a grid of all the activities from which the client with help can choose to suit each project. While this complicates fees it is a good way to work as it is so flexible and responsive, fixed price services can also be set this way.
