Established over ten years ago, Hart Baskerville Architects are known for developing positive working relationships with clients developing their home. We strive to achieve:-

1.Clear communication, ensuring that our clients are engaged in the design process from the outset.

2. Honest and straightforward advice on the likely cost of the work, other associated costs, and our services and fees for the entire project.

3. Attentive listening and open-mindedness to clients’ requirements, tastes and ideas. We aim to facilitate our clients’ ideas to be realised without imposing a solution or approach.

Process

Initial consultations are free of charge. By pre-arrangement this can be a generous session where we establish the requirements of the project and an ensuing brief. At this stage it is usually possible for us to give an accurate assessment of feasibility for any proposed development.

Following this initial consultation, we provide a fee proposal for our services going forward which may include:-

– Schematic Designs
– Planning Applications
– Certificate of Lawfulness Applications
– Freeholders Consents
– Detailed Construction Drawings
– Building Regulation Drawings
– Tender or negotiation with builders/ contractors
– Contract Administration
– Completion

Most projects will require the appointment of other consultants. Over the years we have established working relationships with first-rate consultants and are able to recommend a range of professionals as needed. These include:-

– Structural Engineers
– Party Wall Surveyors

Builders and Suppliers

Hart Baskerville have worked with many excellent building firms and tradesmen and can generally recommend the right people to suit your project. All of the professionals we recommend are happy to show examples of their previous work and introduce you to their own clients.

We also have relationships with many suppliers of products such as bathrooms, kitchens, floor finishes, glazing, lighting, etc. As part of our service we are able to source the various elements the project requires and to negotiate prices on your behalf.
