A clear route through a complicated project.
Planning, Building Regulations, structure, budgets and builders all interact. The process is designed to make those decisions happen in the right order.
Explore
What does the home actually need to do?
Brief, priorities, approximate budget, property context and initial feasibility.
Survey
Measure before assumptions become design decisions.
Create the base information needed to design accurately and coordinate later stages.
Design
Test options, not just one answer.
Explore layout, form, daylight, circulation and the relationship between old and new.
Approve
Choose and manage the correct consent route.
Prepare and submit the relevant planning information and respond to normal local authority queries.
Technical
Design what the builder actually has to construct.
Develop the approved scheme into coordinated technical information and integrate structural input where needed.
Price
Give builders a clearer basis to price.
A stronger information pack means fewer assumptions and easier quote comparison.
Build
Keep design intent connected to construction.
Where appointed, ArcForma can provide targeted support for queries, changes and coordination during the build.
