Modus operandi

Why TENET

We help you make sound architectural decisions before they become expensive to change. At the outset we set what is in the job. We deliver the documentation we agreed. When the work needs it, we bring in lawyers, engineers and other specialists.

1

A small team, known roles

The architectural team holds project direction. Specialists join with defined roles, before expensive decisions.

The team holds architectural direction and coordinates the design team. As the project needs it, we bring in lawyers, engineers and other experts. Their roles are written before they begin.

2

Architecture, with other disciplines when needed

We involve other specialists before decisions that would later be expensive to reverse.

Ownership, contracts and regulations often shape the architectural answer. On more complex projects we connect architectural decisions with project stages, risks and the requirements of other specialists.

What each stage leaves behind

Every stage ends with defined documentation.

At the end of a stage it must be clear what was agreed, decided, produced and delivered.

  • Written scope
  • Inputs defined before work begins
  • Responsibilities stated
  • Decisions documented
  • Stage deliverables written down
  • Exclusions written down
  • Next step defined

How we look at the fee

Fee matters. Alongside it we weigh design quality, scope, drawing coordination, timing and the likely cost of late change. We aim for less uncertainty and important decisions before changing them becomes expensive.

  • Initial fee
  • Defined scope
  • Number of revisions
  • Documentation quality
  • Risk detection
  • Coordination
  • Stage delivery

Who TENET is for

We suit private clients, landowners, investors and developers who want written communication, agreement before larger spend, and orderly work.

We are a weaker fit when the only priority is the lowest opening fee, or when required professional steps and regulations are to be skipped.
