Our Services

We offer a range of services to help you with every stage of your project. Our team will navigate the opportunities and constraints of any project to deliver on your brief. We've successfully delivered projects across the UK for more than five decades.

De-risking your project (RIBA Stage 0-1) - We follow the RIBA Plan of Work 2020 to ensure an orderly framework and project clarity from the outset. First, we conduct feasibility studies and a project review. This includes site visits and a review of details such as title information, planning history and highways and infrastructure constraints.

Planning strategies (RIBA Stage 2-3) - This process is led either by a chartered planning consultant or chartered architect and entails the preparation of concept designs and planning strategies. At this stage, we'll conduct public and stakeholder consultations, manage the design team, and submit and manage planning applications. We can also provide planning appeal advice and management.

Maximising return on investment (RIBA Stage 4-7) - During this phase, the design is developed to meet the required technical standards to meet building regulations and incorporate sustainability strategies. We'll also oversee integration of legal and regulatory requirements, as well as preparing a HM Land Registry-compliant transfer and title plans.

Our Values

We pride ourselves on the ability to communicate ideas with both clients and stakeholders in an open and transparent manner. Design is a collaborative process, therefore the architect must assimilate the thoughts and requirements of diverse interest groups. At Rickett Architects, we're committed to lead design role. As planning and design specialists, our core values are knowledge, openness, and quality.
