We also offer virtual reality experiences of design options with our VR headset. We will host a design team meeting to confirm a preferred option and discuss next steps for the planning process.

We will tailor our level of input during this stage to your project requirements. We will produce construction drawings and attend regular site visits to check that work is proceeding smoothly. We will make regular visits to site to check whether the build is being carried out according to the issued drawings and specifications to address any arising issues.
Stage 6 / Handover
we will develop your preferred design option into a planning submission package, coordinating with a structural engineer. Further coordination with a cost consultant will be carried out. Our team will be with you at every stage of the planning process and will communicate with a planning officer to provide you with regular updates.
