The Process
Once the site had received planning permission, SJP Architectural Consultants Ltd were engaged and appointed to prepare the technical drawings for construction. The client opted to use their standard house type range so our initial brief was to adapt the range to suit what had been approved at planning.
A collaborative approach was undertaken as we had to provide a full working drawing package. This included ensuring that all technical information was added to the drawings for construction. This included updating the working drawings to conform with SAPs, acoustic mitigation reports, and ecological mitigation. Furthermore SJP were required to check and implement third party information as required. This included jet floor systems, joist designs, truss designs and items such as staircases.
SJP Architectural consultants produced the full detailed technical drawings which included bespoke detailing which was required for combined plots with varying roof designs.
