WHERE GREAT IDEAS COME TO LIFE.
We work together with a shared mindset; to create buildings, places, and spaces that connect people in an ever-changing world and have a positive and lasting impact.
Our way of doing things is different
Our multidisciplinary firm offers several core areas of Architectural Design, project management, infrastructure, health and safety, building surveying, energy management, environmental and sustainability advice. Our intelligent solutions are focused on efficiency and performance that is sustainable. Guaranteeing unrivalled service delivery, our clients have access to superior technical consultancy nationwide.
DESIGN
Our work begins with an analysis of your requirements. We will relate your needs and quality standards to your budget. The success of your project depends in large measure on the quality of your brief- your description to us of what you need from the building. This information enables us to develop a design related to your needs and wishes. Agreeing a realistic budget for your project is an important part of Work Stage 1. Your needs cannot be met within the available budget or market conditions may make achieving your budget difficult. If your budget is fixed you should make this clear to us at the start. If you require a particular standard of kitchen or other fittings and finishes you should discuss this with us. If, because of these or other similar factors, a cost cannot be established at this stage your architect will use the RIAI Cost Guidelines to arrive at an initial estimate of building cost.
PLANNING
Having translated your brief into a developed design, We will produce detailed drawings and specifications for competitive pricing by builders. We will prepare a list of suitable contractors with you. Contractors should be preselected on the basis of quality, and in general the lowest tenderer will be awarded the contract. A good contractor represents real value in terms of reliability and quality, and will ultimately cost less than a poor one, no matter how cheap a price the latter might have submitted. The builder or ‘contractor’ enters into a contract with you, to carry out the building work. In turn, the contractor has contracts with specialist sub-contractors and with suppliers of materials.
PROJECT MANAGMENT
Our Project Management Team will place you, their customer, at the core of the project delivery and will assemble a team to deliver your project successfully.
We cultivate and manage key relationships with each client so we truly understand their goals and then take ownership of their project, therefore we constantly get repeat business from our customers.
We drive value for our customers to achieve their objectives at a competitive price.
Our team is skilled at working within complex stakeholder environments and at managing strong stakeholders. We bring unrivalled experience and a first-class reputation which gives clients the confidence that we will always be working in their best interests. We strive to develop solutions that meet our client’s brief and permit the team’s members to meet the challenges they face.
The diverse backgrounds, qualifications and experience – be it architecture, commercial property development, structural / civil / mechanical / electrical engineering, IT, or building / quantity surveying – of our Project Managers will dictate who we select to ‘take ownership’ of your project and become your key point of contact during the project.
