New Practices

If you are setting up a new architectural or interior design practice and have limited experience, we can help you to get started straight away. 

How We Can Help

We can cover as much as you need to get you started on the road to running a successful architectural practice. Our outsourcing services cover all aspects of design, production of information and even submission of applications. This means that in theory, somebody with absolutely no architectural experience could set-up a company, with us providing a complete back-office solution. As part of this process we can also assist with the initial set-up and putting your organisational structure in place, advising on general business matters as well as templates, protocols and technical compliance.


For those who are trained, we can take - on single tasks or whole packages of work, using your existing drawing & document templates and styles. With our wide range of freelancers, we can also work with the appropriate software to suit your requirements.


To discuss a bespoke solution to help you establish and grow your practice, please get in touch to arrange a call.

  1    Surveys / as existing drawings

Smaller domestic or interior projects don't always warrant the cost of a full professional measured building survey and it is come practice to do this yourself with a hand-held laser. This can be time-consuming, particularly if the project is not that near to you it can involve a lot of wasted travel time.  We have many freelancers who have stated they can do this work, including a couple who specifically specialise in this and nothing else. Handing-over this repetitive and time-consuming activity really helps free-up your time to focus on the 'value-add' activities instead.
