How We Work
At Common Ground Workshop, every project begins with a fresh perspective. Our work is never a copy-paste exercise; We develop bespoke responses to the unique context, challenges, and opportunities of each site.
Our comprehensive approach to all projects guides clients smoothly from the early phases through to project completion:
Initial Consultation
We will meet with you from the outset to clearly define project goals, budget constraints, design quality benchmarks, business and branding requirements and project timeline expectations.
For complex projects, we assess the broader potential of large sites, emphasizing holistic strategic planning to create a successful business ecosystem. This approach enables us to identify key opportunities and avoid incremental development that might overlook vital connections, ensuring a cohesive vision that aligns with long-term objectives.
Strategic Project Briefing
In this crucial phase, we work closely with you to refine project objectives and conduct a thorough site analysis.
Our experienced team meticulously identifies critical success factors, ensuring that every element of your project aligns with both immediate needs and long-term aspirations. We understand the complexities of navigating regulatory frameworks and site constraints, and we leverage our in-depth knowledge to develop strategies that maximize potential.
Our holistic approach gives you the reassurance that you are starting on the best possible footing, setting the stage for successful project outcomes.
Concept Design
During this phase, we translate initial ideas into a cohesive design vision, developing detailed space planning, selecting appropriate materials, and integrating innovative sustainable features.
Our extensive experience in design and our award-winning approach ensure that your investment is well-protected and maximizes return on investment. We leverage our deep understanding of the planning system, building regulations, and the recent secondary Building Safety Act legislation to mitigate risks and navigate complexities.
This comprehensive strategy provides you with the assurance that your project will meet regulatory standards while achieving your vision.
Planning Consent and Regulatory
Compliance
We bring a comprehensive understanding of the UK regulatory frameworks, encompassing Planning policies, The Uk Building Regulations and the latest requirements under the Building Safety Act’s secondary legislation. This ensures that all our projects—whether high-rise or low-rise, new builds or renovations—comply with the most current standards for fire safety, structural integrity, and occupant protection.
We prioritize risk management at every stage, from initial planning to final handover, identifying potential issues early on to avoid costly delays and ensure project continuity. Our deep knowledge of regulatory requirements and proactive approach to design refinement and coordination across teams reduces construction risks, ensuring that your project remains on schedule, meets budgetary expectations, and achieves long-term, compliant success.
Technical Design and
Construction
At Common Ground Workshop, we excel in delivering highly crafted and fully specified technical designs, and precise on-site project execution with an unwavering focus on quality and efficiency.
From aligning designs with client’s cost plan to ensuring seamless regulatory compliance, our team manages every detail of the construction process, delivering the highest quality buildings and space on time and on budget.
With expertise in project management, quality assurance, and post-completion support, we ensure that every project transitions smoothly from design to reality, surpassing expectations at every stage.
