Terms of Service

By using this website or engaging the studio, you accept these terms. Where a signed project agreement exists and conflicts with these terms, the project agreement prevails for that engagement.

Project descriptions, images, dimensions and indicative programmes on this website are published for illustration. They are not an offer, a warranty of outcome, or professional advice for your property. Nothing here creates a client relationship until a written agreement is executed.

Services are defined per engagement across five stages: survey and light study, concept options, developed design, detail and tender, and construction support. The stages, named deliverables, meeting cadence and exclusions are set out in the project agreement. Work outside that scope is a variation, quoted and approved in writing before it begins.

• Provide safe site access, existing documentation and any known building constraints.
• Nominate one person authorised to approve drawings, samples and variations.
• Respond to approval requests within ten working days so the programme can hold.
• Appoint contractors and statutory consultants where the agreement places that duty on you.

Delay caused by late information or approvals may extend the programme and, if it exceeds thirty days, may be charged at the studio's standby rate.

Feasibility is a fixed fee. Design stages are charged as a percentage of construction cost as stated in the agreement, invoiced at stage milestones. Site supervision is invoiced monthly. Invoices are payable within fourteen days. Late amounts may attract interest at the statutory rate applicable in [Jurisdiction]. Fees exclude printing, models beyond the agreed number, travel outside the studio's local area, and any taxes or duties levied in [Jurisdiction].

Drawings issued for construction reflect the design approved at that date. The studio is not the contractor and does not control site means, methods, sequencing or safety. Where a contractor departs from the issued package without written instruction, the studio is not responsible for the resulting work.

The studio retains copyright and moral rights in all drawings, models, specifications and images it produces. On full payment you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the deliverables to construct, occupy and maintain the specified project at the stated address. Reuse on another site, resale, or use to procure a competing design requires written consent.

Each party keeps the other's commercial information confidential. The studio may photograph and publish the completed space where the project agreement records your consent; consent may be withheld or made conditional on anonymity.

The studio performs its services with the reasonable skill and care expected of a competent design practice, and maintains professional indemnity insurance at the level stated in the agreement. To the extent permitted by the law of [Jurisdiction], the studio's total liability arising from an engagement is limited to the fees paid for that engagement, and the studio is not liable for loss of profit, loss of rent, business interruption or other indirect loss. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited in [Jurisdiction].

Either party may terminate on thirty days' written notice. The studio may suspend work if an invoice remains unpaid for more than thirty days. On termination, fees for work performed and committed third-party costs become payable, and licences under clause 7 take effect only once those sums are settled.

These terms are governed by the laws of [Jurisdiction], and the courts of [Jurisdiction] have exclusive jurisdiction. The parties will attempt good-faith resolution, and then mediation, before commencing proceedings.
