BHB Architects provides comprehensive architectural and lead consultant services covering all RIBA plan of work stages, from initial feasibility studies and options appraisals to detailed design, on-site contract administration, and project completion.
BHB Architects are committed to the collaborative BIM working environment and have the appropriate procedures and competent staff in place, to ensure the highest quality of coordinated design output, providing real benefit to the Client, Consultant and Contractor organisations alike.
In addition to the BIM outputs generated as part of our Architectural service, BHB Architects have recently been appointed as specialist BIM consultants by main contracting organisations, in order to coordinate and manage whole development models on behalf of the end users. This process has developed our in house capabilities significantly.
BHB Architects can work with clients to develop pre-visualisation of projects at all stages, from early concept images to tender documentation showing design intent. This allows clients to know what their project will look like before work starts on site. BHB can provide a range of services including presentation images, to flythrough videos and Virtual Reality environments for clients to experience the space first hand.
BHB has experience in assisting clients in presenting projects from client design reviews to full public consultation, we can develop the right solution for the project and the end user.
