SERVICES OFFERED
We provide a complete project management service
using a qualified project manager to offer advice at all
stages of the project, establishing best value for you.
Firstly, we develop the brief obtaining the project
deliverables, time scale and budget. Then, we keep
you fully informed of any changes, managing your
expectations throughout the project.
Depending on the level of involvement that suits you,
we guide you making the difficult decisions so that
the project moves smoothly and efficiently forward.
We prepare outline proposals for complex projects
at an early stage to form part of a Business Case
establishing the project’s risks and viability.
Visit site and carry out an initial appraisal, assisting
you in preparation of Client’s Requirements. Advising
on methods of procurement and reviewing alternative
designs, construction and cost implications.
We will prepare proposals and make applications for
Outline Planning Permission. Advise on Environmental
Impact and prepare a report.
We visit site taking dimensions and levels using
electronic distance measure (EDM) to produce detailed
survey drawings of the existing building or site.
The existing drawings are produced using computer
aided design (CAD) software and used in the Planning
Applications and are the basis for developing design.
We locate structure and services such as electric, gas,
water, telephone, drainage etc. that will have an impact
on the proposed design.
Arthur Architects use sketches in brainstorming sessions to quickly develop creative ideas and dialogue in the design process.
These ideas lead to the principles of design for
production of more detailed proposals.
The sketches are used for discussion with the Project
Team, local Planning Department and other parties
in firming up the proposals before any formal applicationsare made.
We produce high quality three dimensional computer
generated images and animations for marketing and
visualisation purposes. These can be:
- simple low resolution volumetric massing, or
- medium resolution shaded line drawings, or
- high quality definition rendered images
These images are a great way both to convey
the design and to give (Clients) an instant
understanding of three dimensional space

Depending on the nature and speed of delivery of the
project there are two routes we mainly use:
“Building Notice” – the detailed drawings and structural
calculations are submitted to Building Control upon
commencing work on site; this is a fast track method
of delivery for mainly residential projects.
“Full Plans Application” the drawings are submitted to
Building Control well in advance of starting on site to
obtain approval of the design usually before going out
to Tender and starting on site.
