Envision is aimed at the potential buyer and new / existing owner.

The objective of Envision is quite simple – to furnish you with a scaled floor plan of a property ‘as is’, together with the same scaled drawing of ‘what could be’ to meet your particular needs, as well as a professionally informed opinion as to its suitability for you purposes.

Envision is a one-day, one-on-one workshop with you and I. The first step is an concise ‘get to know’ session in which we ascertain and collate your situation (planned occupancy, lifestyle, budget, timelines etc). It is from these that we confirm the requirements that your intended property needs to meet.

We walk the house, in which we discuss what can and can’t be done. Whilst I will not give you a structural survey, we can discuss areas and issues that might concern you that include structural integrity, state of repair, services, essential works etc.

If the situation merits it and time allows, I measure the house to produce a Floor Plan.

We then develop the options, whether straightforward restoration to complete renovation and / or new build, that will meet (and indeed exceed) the needs we discussed earlier.

Benefits

• Intensive, fast, comprehensive, cost-effective.
• Made-to-measure solution - tailored to (and achieving the best compromise between) lifestyle, budget, timings, re-sale value, ‘build-ability’, aesthetics, ergonomics.
• Where possible, maximum use made of the ‘as is’ building.
• Genuinely creative use of space, light, insulation, character.
• Invaluable advice on building techniques, maintaining character, sourcing of materials, selecting artisans, identifying related services (such as insurance, legal advice).
• The vision is conveyed in easy-to-read, easy-to-visualise plans.
• Any subsequent changes to the proposals are easy to incorporate.
• Substantial reduction in related costs (eg architects, the build, sourcing of materials) – savings here typically cover the cost of both ‘Envision’, ‘Permis de Construire Pack’ and ‘Devi Pack’.
• Entirely flexible to suit your needs – can be extended as you wish.
  My skills, knowledge and experience bridge the gap between the more theoretical architect, the project manager, and the hands-on builder, achieving a better compromise between ‘what is’ and ‘what needs to be’, resulting in a quicker, more workable and cost-effective solution.

Multiple Envision sessions. If you are considering the pros and cons of several properties and the lifestyle assessment / user requirements applies to all, I can carry out multiple Envision sessions over several days to suit your needs. Needless-to-say, we don’t need to confirm the user requirements more than once, thereby leaving more time for additional visits or indeed more time spent at one.

Permis de Construire Dossier is the next logical step once a proposed plan is confirmed. The deliverable is all that is required for an application for planning permission (Permis de Construire), including As Is Drawings.
