WORK STAGES FOR YOUR HOME DESIGN
At Joe Wright Architects, we guide you through the design and construction of your new home. We use the work stages set out by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) as our framework. This structured process ensures that every aspect of your project is carefully planned and executed, with focus on the key decisions to make at each stage. Here’s a simple breakdown of the stages:
We start with our very first meeting – a free consultation, by discussing your ideas and goals, ensuring that the project aligns with your vision, budget, and timeline. This stage involves defining the project scope and understanding any immediate constraints or opportunities. We develop a detailed brief that outlines your needs, desires, and expectations. This is all captured in our fee proposal document.​
We translate your brief into creative concepts your home, exploring potential design options and layouts. We’ll refine ideas together, incorporating feedback to create a cohesive design that reflects your lifestyle. This stage also includes an initial site analysis, helping us identify planning and regulatory requirements.
With the concept approved, we develop the design in more detail to explore the look and feel of your home; including materials and finishes. We guide you on the planning requirements and regulatory standards. At this stage we would prepare any planning drawings and documents for submission, if necessary.
Here, we focus on the technical details of the design. Co-ordinating input from the structural engineers and other consultants. The output is a suite of document including technical drawings and specification, against which prospective contractors provide accurate prices, and the Building Regulations application can be submitted. This stage ensures everything is ready for the build to begin.
We oversee the construction process, ensuring that the work is carried out according to the design, as well as regulatory and quality standards. We work closely with you to co-ordinate your chosen fittings and finishes into the building to best effect. We conduct regular site visits, resolving any issues that may arise, checking progress and authorising claims for payment by the contractor.
Once your home is complete, we ensure all aspects are finished to your satisfaction, addressing any final details or adjustments. We also assist with obtaining necessary certifications and ensure you are happy with the final result
Even after your home is finished, we offer support with any post-construction issues, ensuring everything functions as intended. This stage ensures the long-term success and enjoyment of your home.
