Architecture & Project Management

Design, Transform, and Enhance Your Heritage

Our firm supports discerning property owners in the renovation of Norman residences and character homes. Our approach combines respect for heritage, a sense of aesthetics, and technical mastery. We are involved from the initial sketch to the completion of the project to ensure coherence and quality throughout your project.

Feasibility Study: Uncovering the Potential of the Site

The first step involves a comprehensive feasibility study. We visit the site to understand its history, constraints, and opportunities. Based on these observations, we create sketch plans that visualize the initial architectural intentions. We also provide a global financial estimate to give the project owner a clear and realistic vision of the project before any commitment.

Complete Architectural Design

We then develop the preliminary project through the APS and APD phases, which specify architectural, functional, and aesthetic choices. This in-depth design incorporates contemporary requirements while respecting the uniqueness of the existing structure. It is accompanied by an updated overall estimate, ensuring financial coherence before starting the technical and administrative phases.

Administrative Procedures

We handle all regulatory formalities necessary for the realization of the project. This includes preparing the building permit application, preliminary declarations, and communication with the relevant authorities. The project owner thus benefits from a simple, smooth, and secure support process in a field that is often complex.

Technical Studies and Material Selection

Once the preliminary project is validated, we conduct general design studies. These include producing plans at a scale of 1/50, precisely defining technical choices, selecting materials suited to the character of the residence, and optimizing the building's energy efficiency. This phase ensures a complete and detailed vision of the project before consulting contractors.

Consultation of Contractors and Offer Analysis

We organize and manage the call for consultation with contractors. After receiving the offers, we analyze the quotes to verify their technical and financial coherence. We then assist the project owner in selecting the participants and signing the contracts, in order to form a strong team suited to the specifics of the project.

Construction Monitoring and Project Management

During the execution phase, we ensure the monitoring of the work to guarantee quality execution and compliance with the contractual documents. This includes organizing site meetings, drafting minutes, monitoring progress, and managing finances, particularly through the verification and approval of work situations submitted by the contractors. OPC coordination can be provided as an additional service for project owners seeking enhanced schedule management.

Project Handover and Resolution of Reservations

At the end of the project, we assist the project owner during the handover of the works, a key moment that marks the taking possession of the project. We support them in signing the minutes, with or without reservations, and in verifying the resolution of any reservations. This phase ensures that the completed works meet expectations, plans, and signed contracts.
