Our services

Albyn Architects works with clients to deliver projects which are bespoke to their specific requirements, responding to the project brief to create transformative spaces to live, work and enjoy.

Our team looks after all stages of the design, tender and construction process, using our experience and expertise to deliver your project. We have created a step-by-step guide to demonstrate the process from the initial contact, through to the completion of the project.

1. Define project brief

The first step on any architectural project is to develop an understanding of the client requirements:

  • Listening to the issues which need to be addressed
  • Preparing a list of project requirements
  • Providing ideas about how this may be achieved
  • Answering questions about the process

Once the project brief has been established, Albyn Architects will provide a written Offer of Services, detailing the required services, fees and timescales.

2. Concept design

Once appointed, Albyn Architects will produce concept design proposals, looking into possible design solutions.

Once these initial designs have been reviewed, we will refine the proposals and report project costs and services for the agreed concept design.

3. Developed design

The concept design is developed to show the appearance of a building, looking into materials and finishes with the client.

Once agreed, a planning application can be lodged with the local authority.

4. Technical design

This stage is where the architect prepares detailed technical information, which is submitted to the local authority to obtain the building warrant approval.

These drawings form the basis of the tender information.

5. Tender

Depending on the scale and type of project, Albyn Architects will advise the appropriate tender process and recommend suitable contractors.

We provide a complete overview of the tender process, reporting fixed tender costs and holding tender review meetings to ensure all areas of the project can be delivered.

6. Construction

Once the contractor has been appointed, and works start on site, Albyn Architects will administer the construction contract.

We will carry out site inspections, report on progress and any variations in budget or programme, and will issue certificates for staged payments due to the contractor.

7. Project handover

Conclude all aspects of the building contract including the inspection and rectification of defects, obtaining completion certification required under the building contract.
