Get Turner has an in-house design team, with qualified architects who work alongside our construction experts. We can either provide stand-alone architectural design, or a full design & build service. Our fees are extremely competitive, as we don’t have the overheads of large architectural practices.
Our architectural design services
The first step is a site visit and initial briefing to discuss the project. This is followed by a free, itemised fees proposal for the different levels of design work we can provide (based on the RIBA stages).
Once appointed, our architect then develops the design – and associated costs – alongside the client, to ensure that the budget and specification fit their requirements. Our services can include:
- Architectural design – from concept to construction-ready drawings
- Early cost calculations to match design to budget
- Planning permission applications
- Co-ordination with build team and pre-booked construction slot (Design & build only)
- Structural design co-ordination
- Advice on space- and cost-saving ideas and finishes
- Bespoke kitchen / storage design co-ordination
- Schedule of work and detailed costings as the design develops
Design & build
If you would prefer to work with one company on your project from start to finish, we can provide a full design & build service. This way, rather than having separate design and building phases, the process is integrated; the builder provides input into the design phase and there is a quicker, smoother transition to the construction phase. Another benefit is that all the many elements of a building project are considered and coordinated by just one team.
In the construction phase, we provide the following services:
- Programme of works
- Project and site management
- Dedicated construction team
- Manage all required permissions and paperwork
- Source and order items on clients’ behalf
