The Somnium Design and Build Phases
Phase 1 - Concept Design & Planning
Firm Financial Mapping: We provide a transparent cost estimate based on our real-world experience right from the start, preventing the issue of sudden price jumps. Should anything need to change, we’ll always let you know.
Navigating Manchester Planning: We take charge of architectural submissions, working with local councils to secure planning and approval.
Collaborative Blueprints: We work alongside you to finalise the design, ensuring the layout is both aesthetically striking and perfectly functional.
Phase 2 - Technical Engineering & Groundwork
From Paper to Foundation: Once we’ve locked in the design, our onsite teams move straight into the structural stuff - managing groundworks, steelwork and primary shell construction without delay.
Integrated Infrastructure: We build the core systems into the fabric of the structure from the start, ensuring all utilities and technology are perfectly aligned with the wider architectural plan.
Phase 3 - Interior Refinement & Launch
Detailing & Bespoke Finishes: We install custom joinery, lighting and finishes that were specified in the original design phase, ensuring a high-quality look that’s on-brand.
Quality Assurance & Final Inspection: Once the build is complete, we conduct a meticulous review to ensure the finished property matches the original architectural vision, down to the last detail.
Handover: We deliver the keys to a fully compliant, beautifully finished and fully certified building that’s ready for immediate use.
