Architectural Technical Services

ARCHITECTURAL TECHNICAL SERVICES

Practical architectural support from early-stage layouts through to project documentation and visual communication.

We provide focused architectural production support for projects that require additional technical capacity without committing to a full architectural service.

Whether you need to test different spatial arrangements, communicate a proposed design through 3D visualisation or maintain an organised drawing issue process, each service is designed around a specific stage of the project.

Services can be selected individually or combined to create a project-specific scope.

PRICING & PROJECT SCOPE

Each service is priced per service, per project.

Pricing varies according to the size, complexity, number of drawings, level of detail, number of options and required deliverables.

Services can be combined where they form part of the same project workflow.

For example:

Project A

Spatial Planning Assistance — £2,000
3D Visualisation Support — £2,500
Drawing Issue Management — £1,500

Combined Project Scope — £6,000

Each project receives its own defined scope, deliverables and fee.

Large, complex or specialist projects are individually assessed before a final quotation is provided.

SPATIAL PLANNING ASSISTANCE

Explore how a space can work before progressing the design.

Good spatial planning is about more than fitting rooms onto a plan.

The relationship between spaces, circulation, furniture, access, entrances and functional requirements all influence how effectively a building works.

This service provides early-stage spatial planning and option development, allowing alternative arrangements to be explored before progressing with a preferred design direction.
