Commercial Architecture FAQs
What types of commercial projects are you able to handle?
We work on a wide range of commercial projects across Essex, including office spaces, workplace refurbishments, retail and hospitality environments, industrial units, logistics hubs, and business parks. Whether it’s a new build or a retrofit, we shape the design around your business goals.
We’re working to a tight deadline — is this something you can support?
Yes. We assess your timescales at the outset and create a realistic programme for design, approvals, and construction. By coordinating closely with your contractors and suppliers, we help keep the project moving and minimise costly delays.
Do you provide project management alongside your architectural services?
We can provide full project coordination alongside our architectural services. This can include managing the design team, liaising with consultants, overseeing tender processes, and monitoring progress on site to help ensure quality, cost control, and compliance.
Can you help make sure my commercial project is energy-efficient and sustainable?
Sustainability is built into our design process. We look at orientation, insulation, glazing, services, and materials to reduce energy and water use. Where appropriate, we collaborate with specialist consultants to meet specific sustainability targets and regulations.
What planning approvals or permissions will my project require?
The permissions you need depend on your site, building use, and the scale of the works. We can advise on planning strategy, prepare drawings and documentation, and submit applications on your behalf, working with the local authority throughout the process.
How do you typically organise or structure your architectural fees?
Our fees are typically structured in stages, aligned with key milestones such as feasibility, planning, technical design, and construction. Once we understand the scope and complexity of your project, we provide a clear, written fee proposal with no hidden extras.
Do you take on commercial architecture work outside of Essex as well?
Essex is our core area, but we can take on selected commercial projects in neighbouring regions where we can still provide the same level of service and site involvement. Get in touch with your project location and we’ll confirm what’s possible.
