PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND AGREE AS A MATTER OF COMMISSIONING
PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS

Initial enquiries are guided by phone and email and continued through site visits without unanounced visits or mail. All plans and proposals can be provided if required but opinion, advice and representative liaison are of equal significance.

The Consultancy undertakes and supports creative new design contexts, changes, refurbishments upgrades, remeliorative work and retrospectives together with detailed advocacy in proposing the most effective appropriate uses of existing buildings, new buildings, sites and land.

The Consultancy prefers not to take on as clients those who choose not to pay fees on time or who seek to commission public inquiries having previously refused our Applications quotations.

In producing existing and proposed plans the Consultancy provides these in accordance with client wishes, notwithstanding verification at Applications stages. Wherever third party or owner or agent representation acts with these plans bearing the Consultancy's keys local planning and other authorities need to inform the Consultancy immediately.

The Consultancy transfers pdf design and plans copyrights of its own, subject to fees having been paid, the Consultancy removing our professional keys, and all measurements being checked before such use. Otherwise in this respect it exerts a restricted design and plans copyright and requires local authorities and all others to inform us once such plans are in use. The Consultancy itself uses other parties plans with the owners permissions' stated offer to pay any design copyrights that are required. This is in order for the Consultancy to be protected from claims of contravening copyrights.

All measurements on plans must be checked before any uses made from them.

The Consultancy does not accept any prior commission conditions whatsoever to the preparation and execution of commissions, including time, or any during their execution. Clients should appreciate they are in a development context which will be influenced by government decision making processes often requiring the most detailed information and consideration.

No win no fee advice and services are never provided. Most commissions are now formalised in stages so that either substantial partial or total payments are paid at no longer than one month, as per fee proposal. The Consultancy considers it not good enough for clients to have the potential to restrict our ability to service other and existing clients and such fee avoidance will be proceeded with to accountants and through the small claims court. Such clients will have to pay in advance in future to utilise any existing pdf plans; these latter can not be utilised in any way until their commissions are completely fulfilled and paid for. If clients are in financial difficulties they only have to contact us immediately to make arrangements.

All Plans and Planning Issues Services may be the subject of time inconveniences because of the difficulties of assembling, processing and utilising information in detail.
This may apply even to fee proposals quotations.
All plans when posted are sent recorded post.

Consultancy Plans, Pdfs, Drawings, Proposals and Designs or derivatives thereof can not be used or copied from concerning any CONTINUING planning or building control applications, needs or permissions, nor any building works, for the same or applied to any other property without formal notification to the Consultancy and the acknowledged awareness and permission by the Consultancy without which a formal breach of copyright is involved with legal action unless the consultancy is formally notified of and gives written permission for such, with all existing fee proposal payments having been paid and/or are paid in advance. PLEASE CONTACT THE CONSULTANCY TO AVOID ISSUES. Additionally all measurements must be checked on site.

CAD Files are not transferred to any party concerning planning, building control or listed building Applications

Similarly Consultancy plans can not, nor any part of them, be used or utilised in any way for other similar buildings, particularly listed buildings. Although for other buildings the Consultancy is willing to utilise its copyright plans and designs ownership for further fee payments and/or for services to those interested. Owners and tenants of these properties must contact the Consultancy and seek its formal approval in writing for which a fee will be required.

If another previous site/ buildings plans provider can not be contacted to ask permission for our use of their plans copyright by our client, our client must assume all responsibilities, including financial, for our use of them in any way.

Non-payments and non-liaison of fees are referred immediately to our accountants, HMRC for reasons of VAT and the small claims court, the clients concerned being required to pay all professional and administration fees.

Client address must be supplied.
Clients must maintain liaison in respect of all communications at all times.

Ascribed verbal assumptions can not be confirmed in being hearsay, of unsuitable evidence or of any kind of representation.
It is the responsibility of clients to agree and abide by written fee proposals.
It is stressed that fees must be paid promptly for any further definition or work to progress, for minor modifications these may be waived but there will be no continuity of further work progress. All fees are staged to all specific work stages and changes to such will require time costs.

Clients must know of thelselves whatever courses of action they wish to undertake; the Consultancy advises on issues and does not lead clients into making decisions.
If clients wish to halt or postpone commissions they are liable for costs incurred at that time.
The Consultancy is not liable to reimburse clients in any way for any of their time spent with regard to any assistance they give at any time.

Most commissions first involve fee proposals of payment in advance for computer aided design measured scaled existing floor space and elevation plans and secondly the payment for the derived proposals plans and thirdly that for submission, registration and management of Applications, often with lower initial fees and consequent success fees. For these fee stages to be changed clients must have the Consultancy's formal written approval.

It is stressed that fees for plans, particularly Retrospectives, must be paid precisely as agreed, separate from Application submission; any changes can be made subsequently and these if other than minor may involve changes involving additional draughting costs as per case and extent.

In all proposals, compliance and retrospective issues and for enforcement issues particularly, clients undertake responsibility for their actions or lack of them.
For all enforcement compliance and retrospective requirements all plans costs will be fully paid for and copyrights respected before proceeding to any Applications or other requirements whatsoever. The Concultancy is not liable for producing any further work until these costs are met.

The Consultancy is not able to act primarily as a courteous continuous information or quotations service and may consider to restrict such demands.

All quotations last for a period of 3 weeks unless specifically renewed by the Consultancy - after 3 weeks it is assumed that circumstances may have changed and new quotations may have to reflect this.

First Plans are paid for by clients on delivery, otherwise Plans Applications are paid by clients in the ratio of one half on submission of Applications to Councils and the other half on registration of Applications. Pre Applications are paid in full on submission. Changes to Plans and (Pre) Applications are undertaken usually without cost if minor.
Success fee components can be attractive components to fee proposals in reducing client risk of unrewarding higher costs but still apply at any time subsequently if the Consultancy's work in whole or part is in any way utilised to obtain any type of development value.

Success fee components can be attractive components to fee proposals in reducing client risk of unrewarding higher costs but still apply at any time subsequently if the Consultancy's work in whole or part is in any way utilised to obtain any type of development value.
All commissions that are of retail or plans nature are to be paid on delivery.The Consultancy is a business and does not, without written confirmation, give voluntary opinion, acquiessence or services.

Payments of fees invoices can be staged throughout commissions specifically through the written fee proposals and must be paid promptly - certainly before any further assistance or work can be given.
The Consultancy operates very much on a 'cash on the nail' ethic - clients are expected to pay promptly initially forany plans and any first services and then on submission and registration of Application with any subsequent success fees negotiated. A positive relationship is expected from clients.

The reason is that restrictions on the consultancy's cash flows are detrimental, reducing further contiguous project workloads and consultancy commissions and effectively blocking other clients.
Clients are expected to understand that the issue of client interest should be indivisible.

The party whose fees are not promptly paid on invoicing will be prompted to accept credit card payment of fees otherwise creating a net loss to the consultancy and its accountants which could be substantial.
In these situations a credit card payment will be set up, for a small service fee of 2% of the total, by the consultancy to help the client facilitate payment agreed in their fee proposal.
In giving helpful quotations it is expected that clients also fully play their part.

Retainments carry longer term restrictions of Consultancy costs but are welcomed to expand the client base; any increase over previous costs are unlikely for a few years and a considerable amount of representational support and preparation is included as further becomes known of client sites, buildings, operations and modus vivendi needs and opinions.

The consultancy reserves the right to consider whether prospective clients are likely to be able to absorb costs, particularly with regard to retrospective issues fees and to decline providing such client services without such written evidence or unless detailed flexible creditpayments are undertaken in advance.
Advisory fees are required to be paid before any design work or drafting begins.
Drafting fees are required to be paid before validation of (pre)Applications.
Applications fees are required to be paid on submission of agreed Applications and include one redesign element through the processing of the Application subsequently.
Extensive redesign may need additional drafting time fees.
Clients are required to liaise at all times.
There is no prior agreement of the Consultancy to have fees paid only at the end of commissions other than of quoted success fees.
Success fees are deemed acknowledged to be fully appreciated by clients through fee proposals and may be described as to when and how they are to be paid. Any queries must be raised in writing by the clients on receiving fee proposals.
The Consultancy does not undertake commissions without bona fide fee positions being understood and this is held to be the responsibility of the clients..

FOR USE ELSEWHERE THEY REMAIN THE COPYRIGHT DESIGN OF THE CONSULTANCY AND CAN NOT BE SO USED WITHOUT WRITTEN PERMISSION
(Civic Plans are multi-functional, other than for technical issues - Plans commissions are needed for information decision-making purposes, detailing designs and changes, discussions to builders, for estimating purposes and also subsequently being expanded to include building regulations submissions - all this without any necessary planning context.)

An initial complimentary project discussion, not necessitating site visits, is recommended
for your part and is mandatory for ours.
Any complimentary site visits, if such are offered, relate only to new clients' commissioning interest.
Such prospective clients are advised to make arrangements to remain on site past meeting times
if delays are encountered, no new complimentary visits being offered.
In other respects a site visit will be charged at one hour's costs.
No written confirmations of verbal prospective opinions can be given without research.
Fees payments can be staged by agreement, so do please ask.

writing by the Consultancy.

of good faith in payment or advance contingency costs fees.

any other party.
The consultancy's pdf plans, even as a base map, may not be used without the consultancy's
knowledge and its own removal of its keys at hours costs.

commissioned.
