Before you get started.
A few common questions.
Which service is right for me?
Concept & Planning suits projects beginning with ideas, priorities or a site. Independent Design Review suits projects with existing drawings or a proposal you want to understand better. You do not need to decide which service fits before enquiring; we recommend an appropriate scope after reviewing your project.
What should I have ready?
For Concept & Planning, share your intended spaces, priorities, site information and any references you have. For a Design Review, include the current drawings and the questions you want addressed. If information is missing, we identify what is needed before confirming the scope.
What will I receive?
Your proposal lists the specific outputs, which may include concept sketches, layout options, planning notes, review notes or annotated drawings. The samples illustrate possible outputs; your proposal confirms which are included.
How much does it cost, and how long will it take?
The fee and timeline are confirmed in the proposal after reviewing your brief, available information and current availability. The proposal identifies the inputs needed to begin and how additional work or revisions are handled. Final deliverables are issued after full payment.
Can these drawings be used for approvals or construction?
Caribbean consultation provides conceptual planning and design feedback. Permitting, construction documentation, engineering coordination and construction administration sit outside this consultation scope. Your appointed local professionals develop and coordinate the documents required for the project.
Can you work alongside my existing design team?
Yes. The material is intended to support informed conversations with your appointed professionals. A review can help clarify priorities, identify questions and explore design options; project approvals and final technical decisions remain with the responsible professionals.
