Our experienced designers and technicians have a real feel and inspiration for their creation, and this experience has allowed them to use space, design and practicality to create the perfect projects to suit client needs and specification, taking into account their lifestyle, and the type of interior environment and space they require. This is put on paper, with the aid of mood boards, sketches, 3D walk through videos, which clients can easily understand, these drawings can be changed as many times as needed until the client is happy, more often than not our clients are satisfied with our initial designs. We usually estimate the hours we will put towards the feasibility stage, this will be advised at the initial meeting, where clients have an idea of their requirements the costs can be reduced as fewer company hours will be utilised.

Upon completion of the drawings the client will have the opportunity to assess the initial design, and comment on any amendments if necessary, only after client consent will they be submitted to the planning authority or any third party.

Applications are submitted to local authority or any other relevant third party, any correspondence thereon will be between HDC and the third party, this allows our clients to continue with their day-to-day business content that we are working upon their behalf. Seventh step: Details
Once the initial planning has been approved many of our previous clients have requested a set of working drawings package, these are detailed, showing all aspects of the build, and specified finishes and fittings. Typically a working drawings package will include client specification that will include details from floor finishes, lighting arrangements, and home automation etc. This allows the client to be sure that they have included everything in their project they anticipated, we source products from recommended and reputable traders, ensuring our client benefits from both quality and value for money.
The package will also include Construction information, which complies with the approved documents, British standards and NHBC ensuring the client the build is safe, structurally and thermally sound. The package is designed in a manual format, to allow a reference point for the construction team, to work by, the high level of information allows the build to be carried out more time efficiently.
