Touchstone Projects Ltd, in conjunction with the Client will prepare a briefing document outlining the Client’s specific details covering, the envelope of the building, internal finishes for floors, ceilings and walls, fixtures and fittings. We also provide specialist advice in mechanical and electrical installations, particular reference to sustainable materials and green energy, recognising carbon sensitive materials for the build.
A detailed design will be prepared during this stage in readiness primarily for the Building Control Plan Approval, including Architectural and Structural design and details. We have external consultants that we use on an ongoing basis which provide this ‘nuts and bolts’ service in preparing necessary details and specifications.
Following a formal appointment and prior to starting on site we will set up a procurement schedule and programme for all trade packages and suppliers. The client will benefit from our long-standing relationships, with suppliers and subcontractors. Working with the client and their expectations we secure packages for various elements including.
• Sustainable service installations
• External Window and Door suppliers/installers.
• Material supplies -e.g. brick/block etc.
• Wall and floor tiling.
• Sanitaryware
• Dulux Paints, finishing.

This is when your project exists not only on paper but begins to take shape in front of you. During the construction phase, we will continue to develop the design and liaise with various statutory bodies as required, preparing Health and Safety Plan and setting up a safe site for operation.
We pride ourselves on our subcontractor relationships and the team we assemble for erection of the build from the foundation works to final finishing.
During the construction stage you will become part of our team and attending site progress meetings, observing our progress and assisting with your decisions as to finishes, fittings and the like.
Our goal is to complete the works to a high level of quality, to an agreed cost to and completion date.
