how we work

In most cases, we will recommend that a Site Appraisal is carried out. This is a key stage of the process as it dictates the future strategy and can help to avoid abortive work.

Project Management

According to the scale and complexity of the project, a planning submission may require input from a number of external sources:

Archaeological assessment
Architect's plans
Contamination report
Ecological appraisal
Flood risk assessment

Landscape assessments and schemes
Noise and Air Quality assessment
Transport Assessment
Tree surveys

We will brief suitable consultants or work with your preferred team to co-ordinate the necessary assistance and advice.

Our Fees

Mosaic will provide a written proposal setting out the tasks involved and our anticipated fees.

For specific short-term tasks such as a Site Appraisal, a fixed cost may be agreed and we will invoice on completion.

For longer term projects with several stages, a budget ceiling will be agreed (based on specified hourly fee rates) which will not be exceeded without prior agreement, and invoices will be payable monthly.
