04 / BEFORE WE BEGIN
A few useful answers.
Do I need a finished brief before getting in touch?
No. A description of what you would like to change, where the property is and any drawings or photographs you already have is a useful starting point.
Can you help with just one stage?
Yes. The services can be scoped around a particular stage, such as planning drawings, technical information or landscape design, subject to reviewing the project and existing information.
What does Southfold do?
Southfold provides architectural design and drawing services, with a background in architectural technology. We define the scope of each commission and identify where a project needs input from other specialists.
How are fees agreed?
Fees depend on the project and the services required. After an initial discussion, the proposed scope, deliverables and fees are set out for you to consider before work begins.
Do you work outside South Devon?
Projects further afield are considered too. Share the location and the support you need so we can discuss whether the project is a good fit.
