Working Drawing Packs
We produce comprehensive working drawing packages tailored for procurement and construction phases. Our technical teams ensure all elements meet building regulations while maintaining design integrity. These detailed documents facilitate accurate pricing and efficient site execution for housing developments of all scales.
Design Coordination
Our specialists coordinate multidisciplinary design teams including civil engineers and utility providers. We ensure seamless integration of structural, mechanical and landscape components through collaborative workflows. This approach minimises conflicts during construction while maintaining project timelines and quality standards.
Supplier Integration
We collaborate directly with material suppliers and specialist contractors to coordinate technical requirements. From lintel schedules to ventilation systems, our coordination ensures site readiness and compliance. This proactive approach prevents delays caused by last-minute design adjustments during construction phases.

We work closely with warranty providers like NHBC to ensure all technical details meet approval requirements. Our process includes layout validation and condition discharge management to prevent last-minute issues. This guarantees smoother certification processes and reduces project risks for developers.
