OUR PROCESS

1
FEASIBILITY
The Preliminary Design Analysis Stage (also known as Feasibility) is aimed at testing the vision of the client and to reflect any findings in the Project's Client Brief .
The feasibility stage is a very important part of the project where we can add a lot of value to your business by undertaking an appraisal to assess strategic options against the feasibility of the project. We will also identify the types of risks that may impact your decision making enabling you to decide what the best way forward is.
In the commercial projects where we are appointed, the Client's Brief document would include among others the Workflow and Infrastructure assessment to ensure the project has a strong foundation and the outcome will support the existing business functions.
What stage: Feasibility, RIBA Stages O and 1
Who will be involved? atelier EURA and our client
Planning: Specially useful when working in listed buildings. Pre-application advice: 4/5 weeks (optional)
2
DESIGN
Using the information emerging from the feasibility stage, we will prepare the Outline/Concept layout to adapt the space available to your business needs. Once this is signed off by you, we will brief other consultants such as structural or mechanical engineers and incorporate their input into general design strategy.
We know how important avoiding business disruption is for you and planning ahead with those specialists will facilitate t he maintenance of your premises beyond completion in order to pre-empt anything that could impact you continuous trade. Once the general principles are stablished, we we will develop the interior design as well as the detail architectural design inhouse.
Should we need to apply for planning/listed building consent or get a landlord sign off, we will prepare the relevant design documentation to submit.
What stage: Design, RIBA Stages 2,3
Who will be involved: atelier EURA , the design team & our client.
Planning: 8 to 12 weeks*
Freeholder: Typically, 8 weeks**

ILLUSTRATIONS
We are aware that not everyone is trained to understand two dimensional drawings and hence, as part of Atelier EURA's design process, we work on computer generated models that enable us to discuss with our clients any decisions that need to be made overcoming any communication challenges presented by two dimensional images.
In commercial projects, where decision making needs to be faster, we often create sketch videos to help visualise the relationship of key zones to ensure the resulting workflow is understood and agreed by everyone in the client side. We also find this helpful to explain the design to landlords.
The planning process varies depending on the project requirements and context. Furthermore, because the planning system is an evolving framework it can be daunting. Planning, however, is often a necessary step and the risk of enforcement due to non compliance should not be ignored.
Typically, the project's specific requirements will be highlighted at the feasibility stage, this said, in commercial projects, we are often appointed to consult through the property search stages in order to help identify properties without onerous restrictions.
Our services include but are not limited to:
-
Pre application discussions
-
Change of use
-
Full planning applications
-
Advertisement applications
-
Listed Building Consents
What stage: Several stages
Who will be involved: atelier EURA, the design team & our client
5
COMPLIANCE
With a detailed design signed off, we will lead the design team to prepare the technical documents to be used in order to discharge Building Control and Landlord obligations as required. The documents will also serve to inform the tender process.
You will find that many designers choose not to detail built in furniture and other fixtures and fittings as part of the technical packages and they do so after the contractor has been appointed . In our experience providing limited information at tender stage can lead to delays in the signing off process but also result in incomplete tender returns at the next stage and even delays through the delivery stages while design is being developed.
What stage: Technical Drawings, RIBA Stage 4
Who will be involved: atelier EURA, the design team
Building control draft: 3 weeks
Planning conditions: technical responses 8 to 12 weeks
6
CONSTRUCTION
We (with the design team) will prepare the tender documentation on your behalf, for you to send to your contractor shortlist in order to get your prices and we will help you compare them in order for you to select which is the best option.
As we mentioned above, in order for you to be able to receive tenders that are comparable,, it is important that the tender information is detailed. Not only contractors will be able to cost the job properly but will not need to add additional risks to their contingency due to lack of clarity
Furthermore, a detailed set of documents will give you, as the client, certainty on what you will be expecting to see.
What stage: Tender, Contractor selection process
Who will be involved: our client, Atelier EURA, design team & contractors
Tender: Allow 4 weeks for pricing
During construction, the contractor builds and we oversee while providing answers when unexpected issues emerge. {Specialist input from the design team might also be required.) In commercial projects, clients often employ a project manager to administer the contract and be on site multiple times a week.
What stage: Construction, RIBA Stage 5
Who will be involved: our client, Atelier EURA & contractor
Building control runs inspections and checks works.
Building control sign-off on completion
