Trusted Architects in Portsmouth

All the Architectural Services necessary to complete the project: initial briefing and discussion with the Client; sketch, outline and detailed schemes for discussion and agreement; submission of Planning and Building Regulations Applications; the appointment of a Contractor for the construction after Tendering or negotiation; administration of the Contract on site including periodic Valuations for regulated payments through the Builder; the management and contribution required for any alterations or additions to the project during its construction.
