Process

Stage 1
Preparation and Brief
We get to know you and your vision, plus we talk costs, feasibility, and planning.

Stage 2
Concept Design
We explore initial creative ideas, and offer guidance on the look and feel of your project.

Stage 3
Spatial Coordination
We work together to turn our ideas into the preferred design, and take care of the planning application.

Stage 4
Technical Design
We finalise and detail our plans and submit to Building Control. We also prepare everything builders need to cost the project.

Stage 5
Construction and Handover
We help you find the right builders and are then on-hand (and on-site) until all work is completed.

We've been working with Michael and the team at For the Senses for several months now as we transform our new house from a 1960's shell to a modern family space. We're really happy with the design that came about and the drawings are top quality. It's been really important for us to stay involved through the process and we appreciate the communication and explanations provided throughout.

Michael is brilliantly straightforward and knowledgeable. We took on a big project: converting a Grade 2 listed hotel back into a family home. Michael managed the complex design and planning process in a seamlessly and confident manner. He comes highly recommended.

Michael and his team were a pleasure to deal with from day one - always available to answer our calls and guide us through. Their enthusiasm and attention to detail was exactly what we needed. We would have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone thinking of embarking on a planning and building project.

We have enjoyed working with Michael Serginson and his team. This has been a challenging development, adding 3 new apartments over two existing buildings. Throughout the project they were on hand to guide us through Planning and Building Regulation issues. Michael and his team did a great job in submitting the Building Control Application and getting it approved.
