Design Consultancy
Advice that helps you make the call, whether the project is at feasibility or already on site.
The service
We help clients weigh the options, understand the trade offs and settle on a route with confidence.
Sometimes that is a second opinion on a scheme someone else has drawn. Sometimes it is working out whether a project is worth starting at all. Either way you get a straight answer. We are based at the Digital Media Centre in Barnsley, South Yorkshire and work with clients nationwide.

Briefing and strategy
Turning a rough idea into a brief the whole team can build from, with the priorities agreed up front.

Where we do this work
Our experience and services span both the public and private sectors.
How it runs
Short, focused pieces of work with a defined question at the start and a straight answer at the end.
It sits alongside the rest of what we do, so if the advice turns into a project we can pick it straight up.
Tell us where the project is up to and we will tell you what we would do next.
Recent work: Reformer Pilates Studio, Leeds, Your Space, Mansfield and Veterinary Clinic - Internal Refurbishment.
Can you carry out a feasibility study?
Yes. We test what a site or building can deliver, with layout options, CGIs and cost advice, so you can make the investment decision with confidence.
How do you work with clients?
Together. We spend time early on working through ideas and testing options with you. We give straight talking, Yorkshire advice.
Do I have to use you for every stage?
No. Take only the services you need or let our turnkey service handle everything from first sketch to completion with one team and one point of contact. Either way, every stage is director led and we are only a phone call away.
