Detailing the design

It may be that you only want us to help you get through the planning process, and that’s fine, but if you want our help for the next part, we’ll get on with the important job of fleshing out the detail.

Dotting the ‘I’s and crossing the ‘T’s

At this point we’ll create another layer of drawings, this time to show compliance with building regs. These can then be taken forward to form construction drawings. We’ll take you through these for sign off as we know such technical drawings can be a little overwhelming.

Offering help to tender for contractors...

If you need help to manage the contractor tender process we’ll be on hand, creating high quality tender and specification documents as we find this leads to far more accurate and better priced tenders. We’ll advise on well-renowned local contractors where necessary and we can analyse tender documents and make recommendations too, helping you to make the right decision for your individual situation by identifying differences in contractors’ skillsets that maybe beneficial to your project.

…and getting things off on the right foot

We’ll oversee your chosen contractor’s mobilisation process, ensuring they get organised, identify and source required materials and products and associated lead times. They will provide to us a detailed programme of activity as well as a procurement programme which we’ll be able to talk you through if necessary.

We could walk away at this point, but there are benefits in letting a firm of experienced architects like Apex administer the contract for you.
