SERVICES
Each client’s needs are diverse; therefore we offer a variety of services to satisfy these needs to reach a desired outcome.
The following services are offered to individuals, housing companies, other designers and architects, engineers and developers.
Initial Consultation
- Meeting with each client to establish their individual requirements is imperative to understand their needs.
- A complimentary onsite meeting will allow us to provide a fee proposal based on our initial discussion, incorporating your individual requirements and budget.
Fee proposal
- Cadman will provide a fixed-price written fee proposal for a specified project or charge on a time basis plus disbursements, depending on the type of project and the client’s needs.
- Once the Fee Proposal is accepted and our agreement signed and received, we can begin the Sketch Design stage.
Sketch Design stage
- Further consultation and liaison to analyse and establish a comprehensive design brief is a thorough process fundamental to making your project a success.
- A preliminary design sketch will be produced as a discussion document for review.
- Design Review may take place. Once a final design has been approved and signed off the next stage is to produce working drawings.
- A 3D model will be produced as part of the design and working drawing process, to help visualise your design
- Different visual effects can be applied to the model to explore building material options in order to finalise your design brief fully.
- At times the engagement of other professionals such as land surveyors, geotechnical, consulting engineers, CCTV drainage inspections and so on, may be required to ensure a comprehensive and buildable solution is attained. This may take place at Working Drawing stage.
