PREPARING FOR CONSTRUCTION Once the character of the chosen design is clear, work to obtain planning and other consents can begin. To date, the practice has not had any design rejected or seriously modified. In tandem with the above, the material and constructional character of the building is being developed. Extensive hands-on and on-site experience with a wide range of construction and material types keeps this work well grounded in practicality, without dampening ambition. The practice has good relationships with a range of other professionals for specialist work, although we are able to perform many basic engineering and environmental calculations in-house. Similarly, wide experience with on-site management of projects of differing scales and contractual approaches gives confidence in budgeting, programming and selection of appropriate procurement routes and corresponding information flows
