Frequently asked questions

Start with clarity.

A guide to the first conversation and the decisions that shape an engagement. The scope, deliverables and responsibilities are agreed around your project.

What should we include in a project enquiry?

Start with your organisation, project city, the type of space or asset, and what you need help with. If available, include an approximate area, target timeline, budget range and the current stage of the project. You do not need a complete brief to start a conversation.

Can we enquire if we are not sure which service we need?

Yes. Choose “Not sure yet” in the enquiry form and describe your objective, site and any immediate decisions or constraints. This gives the team a starting point for discussing an appropriate scope.

Scope & planning

Define the appointment before setting the programme.

How does consultancy differ from turnkey delivery?

In a consultancy appointment, we provide the advice, design, documentation, coordination and construction-stage support in the agreed scope. In a turnkey package, we take on the agreed design, procurement and execution as a single package, through to handover. Either way, the appointment sets out who is responsible for each part of the work.

How are fees and project costs established?

Fees and costs depend on the scope, project scale, available site information, required disciplines and deliverables. The brief and responsibilities need to be defined before commercial terms can be agreed. For turnkey work, the specifications, inclusions and exclusions also form part of that discussion.

How long will our project take?

The programme depends on the scope, site readiness, design decisions, statutory permissions, procurement and execution requirements. Milestones and dependencies are agreed for the individual project. Completion times mentioned in past client feedback describe those particular engagements, rather than a standard delivery period.

Can you handle statutory documentation and submissions?

Yes, where it is part of the appointment. Our team prepares and coordinates the documentation, supports submissions to the authorities and responds to their observations. Review periods and decisions rest with the authorities, so we plan the programme around them.

03

During delivery

Keep decisions, responsibilities and completion records clear.

How are progress updates and scope changes handled?

The points of contact and reporting rhythm are agreed at the outset. Proposed changes are reviewed for their effect on design, cost and programme, with the agreed instruction recorded before it is incorporated into the work.

What is included at handover?

Handover requirements depend on the engagement. They may include completion records, relevant drawings, testing and commissioning information, and operating documentation for the agreed package. Outstanding items and any post-handover support are addressed according to the contract.
