Preparation and Brief
Develop the initial project brief by clarifying the project objectives and aspirations. This gives us a full understand your needs, including consideration of potential constraints, and a review of information from the installation location. For new ironwork designs in heritage settings please also see reports.

Concept Design
Preparation of sketches outlining our design proposals. Our drawings provide options, allowing you to consider different approaches. For inspiration please see our work.

Design Development
Review and progression of an outline concept design. This stage involves client feedback updates, aesthetic refinement and an unpacking of the detailing. The result is a clear outline specification. While we generally work with our own concept designs, we also offer this service to clients who have created their own. In this situation, our support adds the knowledge to turn your idea into one that is both practical and achievable.

Visualisations
Presentation images that let you better understand the design. We use a variety of techniques and styles depending on your needs. These range from adding colour and annotating designs with three dimensional detailing to showing the finished design in its context.

Ironwork Workshop drawings
Provide the technical design information for the construction of a project. What makes our drawings different is our fine-tuning approach. Our eye for detail ensures exquisite quality in terms of aesthetical design and craftsmanship in our work.

Ironwork Specifications
Define the scope and standard of work required. They remove uncertainty, reducing the risk of poor quality work and contract conflict. We offer fully detailed specifications for both new build and restoration projects which are available for inclusion within tender packages.

Ironwork Assessment Reports (‘Ironwork Condition Reports’ or ‘Ironwork Condition Surveys’)
Provide an assessment of the physical evidence and significance. They give an understanding of, for example, age, technological, historical and aesthetic or social values as well as current condition and tracking repair work.

Ironwork Repair and Restoration Reports
Our reports provide clarity of the objectives, conservation approach, options available and recommendations for repair and restoration. Repair decision making is not necessarily straightforward, our reports help clients make informed choices on how best to conserve or restore their ironwork.

New design in heritage settings assessment reports
Evidence an understanding of the location, its heritage significance and how these, and potential constraints, relate to the new design proposal. They provide the foundation on which informed evaluations and decisions can be made regards any new design proposal. For example, how does the design respect of the significance, respond to the setting and contribute a positive addition?
