Needs and Options Review

What is a NOR?

A Needs and Options Review (NOR) is an exciting opportunity to fully explore your ideas, site and buildings potential. We develop a strategic brief with you through a structured discussion based on the priorities of private or public occupiers. This allows you to assess all of the opportunities and constraints upon your project, which will inform design decisions before significant costs are incurred.

NOR Outcomes

This process allows us to create a design that meets your brief, time scale and budget. Our Project Process Plan method in this Needs and Options Review includes a meeting to discuss with you as property owners to establish the route to the next stage of the building process.

Other Inputs

As we journey with you, we will be able to see and hear what is driving the needs of the building. By verifying each of them, we are able to offer our expertise and knowledge to help you see the best available option. By review, we will show what we think will be the best outcome for you and the property.
