Project Phases /
Our services
The stages of a project are formally defined by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Plan of Work, which outlines Stages 0–7. However, to provide a clearer and more accessible overview, the process can generally be understood in three key phases: planning, building regulations, and construction.
As architects, we can be involved from the outset of a project through to its completion. However, this is not always necessary or feasible, and involvement can vary depending on the specific requirements of each project. The stages outlined below represent the typical progression of a project from inception to completion.
