Following the completion and approval from the client of the Design Concept, production of full working detailed design CAD drawings are prepared to allow for:

Pricing
The package of drawings is detailed to a level to allow contractors/shop-fitters to fully price the project, from building materials through to finishes.  This pricing process is best carried out in the form of a competitive tender, which allows the best possible price for the works to be obtained.  Once all prices are received, Tender Reports are prepared to highlight the comparisons on the prices received.

Statutory Approvals – Planning
Depending on the nature of the project, a Planning Application may be needed for any external works (shopfronts, extensions, location of mechanical plant etc…).  Applications may also be required for a Change of Use depending on the existing and proposed use classification required.  All drawings prepared will be sufficiently detailed to allow for any applications needed.

Statutory Approvals – Advertisement Consent
The majority of new signage requires Advertisement Consent, and as per the Planning issues, all drawings prepared will be sufficiently detailed to allow for these applications.

Statutory Approvals – Building Control
Any major fit-out works require Building Control Approval, which are the regulations relating to the technical aspect of the fit-out.  These include such items as fire safety, noise transfer etc…  The package of drawings is detailed to a level to allow full plans approval for all items other than items that require other consultants (Mechanical & Electrical and Structural).

Landlord Approval
Depending on the unit being developed, it usually a requirement to have some form of Landlord Approval for the proposed works.  As per the Statutory Approvals, all drawings prepared will be sufficiently detailed to allow for any such applications needed.
