Dependant on requirements, we offer services which include site layout drawings, reports, site visitations and estimation of costs. Sketches of designs are prepared to aid in the assessment of a project’s viability and, where appropriate, 3D images and renders can help you appreciate the possibilities. Feasibility studies can prove useful if you wish to know whether it is in your benefit to buy, sell or redevelop a site. Considered and realistic feasibility work also allows for an appraisal of planning issues, potentially leading to early-stage discussions with planning authorities.

Our team co-ordinates with engineers and other consultants, to ensure confidence in a well-supported planning application. We are highly skilled in preparing drawings, compiling supporting statements and refining designs to meet the requirements of local planning policies, without comprising your needs. We are also able to calculate a cost estimate for the construction phase if required. Once an application has been submitted, and if necessary, we are able to work with the council to negotiate any changes that may be needed to the scheme.

Typically, this would be the time when you appoint a contractor. This can be done in a number of ways, including competitive tenders or negotiation of a price with a known contractor. At C+A Design, we are well versed in introducing clients to contractors and acting as intermediary, as well as administrating competitive tenders. This relationship is essential to ensure fair cost negotiations.

Once a project is complete, we create and hand-over a health and safety file, providing a thorough record of works done to aid with any future maintenance that may be required.
