Our Process
Whether you are a seasoned developer or a first time home owner looking to improve your home, we at bmd are happy to create a unique services package for your project. We pride ourselves in a transparent approach that ensure that you don't pay for services you don't need. With our broader team in London and in our sister company bmd Interiors, we can offer a full range of services that ensure your project is in good hands every step of the way.
We start with a free initial meeting with you on site to discuss your requirements. From this meeting we prepare a fee proposal for the project tailored to your needs and the project. From here we work on creating and collating the existing building information before preparing some concept designs. We will work at your pace, having meetings to discuss the design until it's just right. We're here to help and guide you through the whole process to the completed project.
THE RIBA PLAN OF WORK
We follow the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) plan of work when carrying out our projects. The Work Stages split up Architectural work into 8 stages which covers from inception to completion. When hiring an architect you can appoint them for all the work stages or a selection. The work stages are as follows:
RIBA 0 - Strategic Definition This stage is to determine the best means of achieving the Clients Requirements.
RIBA 1 - Preparation and Briefing Define the project brief and collating information on the site, including site surveys.
RIBA 2 - Concept Design The design process to achieve a concept design which meets the brief and is approved by the clients.
RIBA 3 - Spatial Coordination Carry out design studies and engineering Analysis resulting in a final design which can be submitted
for a Planning Application if needed.
RIBA 4A - Technical Design This stage is split in two to reflect the two different packets of information required. 4A covers the
Building application which consists of technical drawings about how the building will function and be built, and a specification.
RIBA 4B - Technical Design This stage covers the Tender process and requires a detailed pack of information about the building
to be costed by Contractor. An architect can project manage the tender process and help analyse the quotes submitted in order to appoint a contractor.
RIBA 5 - Construction This is the stage when the building is being constructed. An architect will inspect the quality of
construction, resolve site queries and carry out project management role, ensuing that all information on the building is available. They may also administer the contract between the builder and the client.
RIBA 6 - Handover When the building is complete, the architect will carry out a snagging list of final tasks, and issue a
Practical Completion certificate when completed. They will assist in preparing a building manual for the users including instruction manuals for equipment and servicing schedules.
RIBA 7 - Use At this time a Post Occupancy Evaluation is undertaken to assess the building performance.
