HOW WE WORK
WE PROVIDE MORE THAN JUST DRAWINGS
At arch/FORM we pride ourselves on providing more than just a ‘drawing service’. We are client focused and specialise in identifying the needs and architectural preferences of our clients - who may not always know what those are until we uncover them during the design process!
WITH YOU FROM START TO FINISH
As a RIBA Chartered Practice, we can work with and guide you from as early as designing your project brief, all the way through the design process to planning, building regulations, finding a contractor and even assist with project management until completion on site.
PROJECT SPECIFIC GUIDANCE
At the start of the process, we will design a project pathway which will cover each of the key stages and how we will collaborate with you to develop your project. We like to keep things simple and clear so, at each stage of the process, we will always let you know what we need to do & what you need to do.
We follow the RIBA Plan of Work and have produced a guide for homeowners or those looking to undertake a residential project to accompany them through the process and provide the key steps in progressing through each stage.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
We're committed to ensuring every project is fit for purpose with a sustainable legacy. To that end, arch/FORM are proud to support Architects Declare - a forward-thinking initiative of practices across the UK raising awareness of the climate and biodiversity emergencies.
We can assist our clients in mitigating the impact of their projects and, where possible, will advocate for the re-use or upgrading of existing buildings as a more carbon-efficient option to demolition and new build.
