METHODOLOGY
Our working methodology is centred around communication and collaboration.
Our directors are involved in every project and for a high level administrative side are the point of contact, each project has a project architect who is the day to day contact for the design team and stakeholders.
We welcome clients and stakeholders to the design process and are of the opinion, the more information the better, which we can generally distill and refine towards a complete design.
We are solution focused and we value prompt and open transparent communication with all parties.
