ARCHITECTURAL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Our ‘Design Development Process’ is structured and organised in a way that your decisions on design are made on your lifestyle and future requirements and what suits you best. Architecture is not an exact science it is a subjective and organic process which refines from one scheme to the other until the client feels comfortable with the proposals. The best and most suitable scheme is then tested for a Planning Decision. Arc 3 normally undertakes pre-planning communication with the Planners to prevent problems or difficulties during the considering stages prior to decision. The clients are requested to keep good relations with neighbours and if possible obtain support letters.
Being Architectural Consultants isn’t just about providing drawings and scheme designs.
Arc 3 will achieve a decision from the Planning Department, Building Regulation Department of the Council. We will prepare tender documents for a fixed price contract. We will ensure works and construction is undertaken as noted in the specification and to a good standard with our expert attention to detail and care.
