Bristol Architectural Services; Building Your Vision, Step-by-Step

It all starts with a conversation! Here, we get to know your ideas, budget, and aspirations for your project. Once we're on the same page, you can formally appoint Wall Architecture as your architectural partner.

This stage involves a thorough survey of your existing site or property. We gather all the necessary information to ensure a design that integrates with its surroundings. This stage also kicks off the official project timeline.

We'll present you with a range of design options (A, B, C etc.), each tailored to your requirements and preferences. We'll discuss the values of each option and work collaboratively to refine your vision.

Based on your feedback, we'll develop your chosen design option further. This stage offers the final design that captures the project brief. Planning permission in Bristol is often required, and we'll handle the entire application process with the Local Authority.

Now, it's time to translate your design into reality. We'll produce detailed construction drawings that act as the manual for how to build your project. These drawings will also be submitted to Building Control for approval and will be used to obtain quotations from building contractors.

There are two ways we can approach this stage. We can manage the tendering process, by collecting quotes from qualified builders. Alternatively, we can provide you with a shortlist of reputable builders, allowing you to select and manage the tender process yourself.

With all the plans in place, construction begins! We'll maintain close collaboration with the builder, ensuring the project adheres to the agreed-upon design and timelines.

The most significant element of the process - the completion! We'll vigilantly inspect the finished project, ensuring everything aligns with the plans and specifications. Once complete, you can step into your new home.
