Bringing Your Design to Life
From Start to Finish,
We Stay By Your Side.
Once planning is approved and building regulations are in place, construction begins—the most visible and rewarding phase of your project. But it can also feel overwhelming.
That’s why our role doesn’t stop at design. At Philip Wadge Architecture, we remain actively involved during the build, ensuring your home is delivered as intended, with clarity, care, and the minimum of stress.
Your Builder
Chosen Well
Choosing the right contractor is key to a smooth, successful build. We help you shortlist experienced, reliable builders—either from our trusted network or your own contacts. We will arrange site visits, guide you through the tender review process, and help assess quotes not just on cost, but quality, attitude, and compatibility.
Once a builder is chosen, we will put a clear contract in place—typically a JCT homeowner contract—which protects all parties and sets expectations for time, quality, and cost.
Our Role On Site
As contract administrator and lead designer, we are your eyes and ears on site. We carry out regular inspections, assess build quality, answer contractor queries, and issue formal instructions or payment certificates as needed.
This means:
Bespoke details are built correctly
Any issues are caught early
You stay informed with regular updates and clear advice
Costs and timelines remain under control
Whether you need light-touch oversight or full project administration, our flexible service options ensure the right level of support for your project.
Why Good Builders Matter
We work closely with family-run builders who value good communication, high standards, and collaborative working. They respect detailed drawings, stick to the plan, and are committed to a tidy, safe, and well-organised site. That makes your experience—and the result—better.
