At the completion stage we can administer the final handover including final payments to the contractor and payments due on the completion of the 'defects liability period' a few months after the completion of the project. Should any problems arise we can provide impartial advice on the most appropriate action that should be taken. Depending on the size of the project, and if appropriate, we can provide a maintenance manual for your building.

Please look at the menu adjacent for information on the main stages of the services we provide. We are happy to meet with you and discuss your ideas with no committment on you to commission further work. This introductory meeting is free, provided you are within a reasonable distance to our office otherwise a small fee to cover travel expenses will be requested. Following this initial meeting a fee proposal for our professional services can be provided which will be tailored to your projects requirements. Our fee is generally quoted as a lump sum which is paid in stages at the completion of specific milestones in the project. We provide a fully detailed schedule of payments at the outset of a project for your agreement and a standard form of the RIAS Chartered architects appointment. Please refer to the links to the RIAS website below for further information .
