Design and specification work go hand in hand - they are the glue that holds a project together. Carter’s Building Consultancy is highly experienced in providing innovative and professional design and specification advice.
We have successfully responded to a wide range of client design briefs, from large school extensions to individual classrooms, the dream open plan kitchen and dining room, reimagining tired architecture, the future of warehousing, and the offices of the future.
The team have often acted as technical advisors to established construction teams as part of large civic contracts across the country, but the challenge of modest projects is equally exciting, and where creativity becomes incredibly important.
Listening is at the heart of all we do: we take the time to understand your building objectives and create a new reality. We live in a three-dimensional virtual world and invite you to share in the experience. The technology we use has been the cornerstone of our investment strategy as many clients struggle with two-dimensional drawings which can cause frustration and incomplete communication.
The team are experts in Google Sketch-up and we use a number of trusted sub-consultants who take our vision and present it as 3D visualisations using Revit and other forms of 3D software.
Design is our passion and the key to articulating a client’s brief. It also unlocks the potential for cost-effectiveness, sustainability and architecture’s relationship with the environment in which it sits.
From great design comes a specification to suit your building needs, describing the materials, workmanship and finish to achieve exemplary impacts.
Specifications vary considerably depending on the stages of the design journey, from performance specifications (open specifications) that still need more design work to be carried out, to prescriptive specifications (closed specifications) where the design is already agreed and complete.
We offer a professional and innovative service where the level of detail is refined as the design and specification progress with stakeholders. We can project manage the whole project with contractors but CBC works equally well when instructed to collate the design and specification for third party tenders. Ensuring the best-value is a major part of what we do.
Please get in touch to see how we can help with your design and specification needs.
