When you are at the start of your development journey, the first step to take in the feasibility review. Why?

• Obtain an unbiased, honest opinion of the feasibility of the project by an experienced design professional.
• A designer that doesn’t feel that unless they impress you, or tell you what you want to hear, they won’t win the commission. All that in a 30min meeting
• An outline brief that includes the fundamentals of your requirement to ensure everything stays on track
• Discuss and critique high level solutions early on.
• Discuss the functional viability of the project and your ideas
• Sketches can be done to show solutions depending on the package chosen (Fees applicable)
• Provide preliminary rough costs in order to get a initial budget in place through BCIS
• Provide preliminary action plan and timeline
• Provide full design fees that you may encounter during the process, tailored to your project.
