How we design
We believe that you as the client have the ability and imagination to initiate your own design
- We would spend time discussing your plans and ideas, and how best to adapt them from a concept into a plan that would work best with straw.
- We would transfer your sketch plans to computer using CAD (computer-aided design)
- Use freehand sketching to translate your idea into a concept.
- Develop the concept using CAD, providing drawings
- Upon your final approval of the design we will then guide you through the planning and building regulation approval.
- Once the plans have been fully approved, we will produce construction drawings sufficiently detailed to enable you and/or your contractor to construct your building
