Master Planning is the most critical stage of a project, encompassing the investigation, research and understanding of the prospective location for any scheme.
The architecture building and planning stage enables our team to fully explore the extent of a client’s project, whilst giving consideration to the environment and end users’ interaction with their surroundings.
Master planning also gives regard to Local Authorities’ local plans, architectural plans, statutory requirements and visions for society.
How we can help
Our team collaborates with clients, ensuring we respond to briefs effectively and efficiently, considering all necessary environmental and surrounding influences; including orientation, existing infrastructure and networks.
Our Master Planning team also take into consideration site plan architecture and sustainable architecture at this key stage to produce smart designs, using the latest available technologies to ensure that the project has minimal harmful effects to the ecosystem and surrounding communities.
Our team also work closely with our clients to procure all necessary surveys that are required to undertake a successful Master Planning process, such as:
- Topography and sub scanning
- Conservation and Legislation
- Transport and Infrastructure
- Environmental impact and biodiversity
The outcomes of the Master Planning stage and architectural plans are then presented to the client and all relevant stakeholders and are key to the project’s successful outcome.
The findings which are set out in the Master Plan are maintained as a point of reference throughout the project’s lifecycle, including all RIBA stages.
