From the outside looking in, it may seem that there is a defined line between the work of an architect and the actual construction process, with the architect’s role ending at the point when the plans are handed over to the developers. However, the job of an architect is often not quite as clear cut, and involves a wide variety of different skills and tasks that are all equally important to the successful execution of the project.

In order to deliver functional and feasible architectural designs, architects must be informed by the essential requirements of construction, including form and materials. The greatest architectural achievements come into being via an understanding of the interdependency of each different part. This means architects will often be involved in overseeing and managing a project throughout the entire building process.

The exact process varies between each different project. In broad terms, however, it could be said that as architects we need to be aware of any constraints or requirements for specific materials to be considered as part of the design. It is equally true that the purpose of certain materials or design features are fully appreciated during the construction process to ensure the desired benefit or feature can be brought into reality.

When we engage in an architectural project, we are always completely focused on practicality and context, and we know that success comes from being fully informed about the required balance between design and construction. When you choose to work with us, we can coordinate your entire project throughout concept designs, planning and construction, taking every step to ensure a successful execution of your ideas and ours. We are always mindful of budgets and timescales, and will manage everything to ensure both these vital considerations are met.
