We develop your brief and the designer or contractor profile to complement and link directly to fit your budget, timeframe, existing property architecture, culture, tastes, lifestyle.
We work closely with planning consultants, listed building consultants, quantity surveyors, building surveyors, topographical surveyors (including bat surveyors and environmental surveyors) and many other specialists to build your brief and the scope services required for your project. We also offer a due diligence service prior to the purchase of a property to help you understand the extent of a project before you embark on an offer.

Our search and recruitment
We identify and appraise enterprising industry leaders and determine top players to give you a clear understanding about what the best looks like. We provide selected profiles detailing experience, mindset and skills for you to interview and meet.
With your budget more clearly defined, we ensure you only speak to firms who will fit commercially and aesthetically. We do the research and initial calls and conversations to save you the time and draw up a short list of experts, subject to what your project needs.

Activating contracts
We request fee proposals, tailored to your brief, on your behalf. Our pitching journeys are immersive engaging collaborative and relevant to your project. We analyse proposals create transparency and ensure you have complete confidence in your costs, scope, design and rapport with your appointed team.
