Reading the site before anything is drawn on it — levels, access, sun and wind, and the development rules that will govern every later drawing.

The study starts on the ground: survey levels, existing access, drainage, neighbouring uses, and the setbacks and coverage the local development rules impose. Nothing is proposed until those numbers are on paper.
What comes out of it is a phasing instrument rather than a picture. Blocks are placed so the first phase can be built, occupied and serviced while later phases are still open ground, and so the utility corridors laid in phase one still serve the last building.
Where the plan is prepared for approval, the statutory drawing set is produced alongside it by our liaisoning team.
Topography, existing structures, services and access recorded.
Setbacks, coverage, FSI and height limits established as constraints.
Uses allocated to parcels against access and servicing.
Build sequence set so each phase works on its own.
Master plan issued with infrastructure corridors fixed.
Concept design through to a good-for-construction set.
RCC and steel design, foundations and detailing.
Mechanical, electrical, plumbing and HVAC as one set.
Space planning, finishes, joinery and fit-out detail.
Tendering, cost control, programme and site supervision.
Statutory drawings, submissions and follow-up to sanction.
