Approach

How a project runs with us.

We can price from concept. We’re most useful once an architect brings us in at developed design stage.

01

Design stage

Our in-house quantity surveyors price the concept, developed, detailed and consent drawings, and we visit the site, so the price reflects what’s actually there. Where a detail is going to challenge the budget, you hear it while it can still be resolved on paper.

Katie Scott describes this part of the process in her film.

02

On site

Existing buildings turn up things nobody could have known were there. Experience means we know the options. Decisions are made with confidence, with the architect, the structural engineer and the right trades, and the design intent holds through every change.

“…resolved before we even were aware of them.”Mark Hall, MSH Architects
03

Through to handover

We manage the budget, cost plan, programme and subcontractors, who work to our programme. Interior designers and landscape architects are coordinated alongside the build.

“…almost exactly what we’d drawn.”Mark Hall, MSH Architects

Bring us in at design stage.

Working on a renovation, extension, alteration or commercial project? Send us the drawings. If it’s one we can take on, we’ll tell you what it costs and where it will challenge the budget, before pricing is fixed.
