understanding of your necessities at
this level therefore our proposals
best reflect your aspirations and
practical wants. Our discussions at

inside the project and will be
released to you for agreement. Our

kindly ask that you inform us as soon
as possible if whatever aspect of your

survey
To
enable us to organize drawings of your
proposals, it is usually needed to
have drawings of the existing
construction in a CAD (computer aided

drawings, we will complete an
evaluated survey and acquire our own
drawings. For bigger properties we
might advise that you charge a survey
from a professional construction
surveyor. We will supply you with a
fixed fee for this level based on the
suggested time-spent.

sketches. These are later formalised
in the data format of quantified CAD
drawings. Our scheme design drawings
