Appointing consultants and specialists

Architects should be the first consultant to be appointed on a project. They can advise you on important aspects and assist you in planning your project from inception.

It is also a good idea to appoint other consultants like a Geotechnical Engineer, Structural Engineer and Quantity Surveyor at an early stage. There could be soil or weather conditions on the site which could implicate the design. A Quantity Surveyor can also provide valuable advice on cost during the design process.

Although consultants are appointed directly by the client we can assist you to source consultants to provide the required services.

Interior Designers, Landscapers and other Specialists, Suppliers and Installers should also be on-board during the design process to avoid later design changes or even delays during construction.
