CONSULTANCY SERVICES DIRECT TO CLIENT

Call / Facetime / Zoom

A consultation by phone, Facetime or Zoom can offer valuable decision-making advice from an expert in the healthy design and construction of buildings. At the beginning of the project review potential sites or properties for renovation together online. At any stage in your project call for immediate answers to an overwhelming range of questions of how best to build right the first time.

Site Visit

While a project can be effectively handled remotely, it is valuable to visit the site at commencement of design to integrate the context of surrounding buildings and landforms. Also, during construction stage a builder may quietly omit agreed construction details and methods and hand over the bare minimum that building regulations require. There are key milestones for inspection on site before materials are covered up from view and there are vital construction details that will only perform well when carried out with perfect workmanship.

Building Design and Materials Specification

When the fundamentals are properly addressed a building can avoid the perils of rising damp, roof leaks, condensation build up, poor ventilation, toxic off-gassing, water supply contamination, and exposure to radiofrequencies and power frequencies. Key stages for providing input are: layout of the building, choosing construction type, specifying materials, detailing building junctions, and the selection and lay out of building services. Consultation can be offered directly to you or in liaison with your architect, draftsman, engineer, planning consultant, landscape designer, builder or tradesman.
