Architecture

We offer a full range of architectural services, from master planning through to technical drawings, BIM and full project management.

Our projects range from small bespoke refurbishment projects through to multimillion-pound new build schemes for a range of clients including blue light emergency, residential, leisure and education establishments.

We consider factors such as sustainability, energy use, materials and transport in the early stages of the design process, all in line with available funding. We ensure these are integrated to help our clients meet their environmental agenda.

Our architectural team is fully experienced with the latest 3D modelling software. We can provide full BIM (Building Information Modelling) services and as a result, our detailed models allow our clients 3D visualisations and walkthroughs of their projects in advance of the construction process.

Whatever the brief, our talented team challenge themselves to create the best possible result for the end user.

What to expect when you work with us

During the initial stages of the project, our Architects will work closely with you to understand the brief, analyse your requirements, and prepare outline proposals for cost purposes. We will then carry out detailed site analysis, taking into consideration all constraints and opportunities.

Using this information, we will liaise with all involved parties to develop the designs based on the project requirements. We will hold regular design reviews to ensure that the proposed scheme fulfils the brief and is within the cost allocated.

If required, we will submit the design for planning approval on your behalf and assist you throughout the entire planning process and public consultation. We will also assist you with the contractor selection process and will put together comprehensive and co-ordinated tender documentation.

Once the project has started on site, we will arrange and lead on the pre-construction meeting and the progress meetings. We will also carry out regular site visits to inspect the quality and ensure progress is in line with the agreed timeline and contract.

YMD Boon’s careful approach to developing the brief by involving many stakeholders with different objectives has been central to making this a successful project. Keeping so many high-profile stakeholders on board whilst carefully detailing works to a listed structure and keeping within budget has been an impressive feat.

I can think of few architectural practices that could have manged such a complex project so well and I think this demonstrates the multi-disciplinary approach to their work. I would characterise the practice by saying “they walk the walk.”
