At ESP Design we like to work closely with you, our client, from start to finish.

We appreciate this process can be a little daunting but exciting at the same time, to give you an idea of the design process here are our seven steps to a successful project:

Step 1 – Meet & Brief

First things first, we need to meet you in person and find out exactly what it is that you are looking to achieve. The initial meeting is perhaps the most important as we look to create a brief that meets both your needs and your budget. With a better understanding of your requirements, we can create a detailed quote which includes a scope of works, which we will send to you for your review and approval.

Step 2 – Appointment & Survey

Once we are appointed, we will arrange for a survey of your property which will be drawn in AutoCAD, our computer aided design software.

Step 3 – Scheme Design

We will create the full scheme design based on the survey. This kick starts the creative process of your project, where we fully encompass your requirements through creative architectural design, creating the spaces that you want.

Step 4 – Design Approval & Planning Application

Once you are happy with our proposals we will apply for planning permission. Upon receipt of planning approval, if required, we will proceed to resolve any planning conditions to complete the planning process.

Step 5 – Technical Construction Drawings & Building Regulations Approval

We will produce technically detailed drawings, including specifications to comply with the current building regulations. We will liaise and coordinate with structural engineers and other 3rd party consultants to ensure you have a comprehensive set of drawings to move forward with.

Step 6 – Tender Process

We can manage the tender process, issue our technical drawings to multiple contractors and liaise with them on your behalf.

Step 7 – Construction Phase

We are available throughout the build program to assist either you, our client or the main contractor as and when required.

Step 8 – Completion

Enjoy your completed project.
