A project typically has a number of stages:
01 Development of brief: requirements and aspirations tempted by possibilities of a site and budget.
02 Initial design: sketch designs that are revised and refined to find the best response to the brief.

04 Developed design: with assistance of a structural engineer appointed we can develop the design prepare warrant information.
For smaller projects the above services may be sufficient, for larger projects, the further services may be required:
05 Technical design: detail drawings, specifications, and schedules, and consideration of materials and finishes.
06 Tender: competitive tender or negotiation to select the best contractor for the project.
