Our documents

Clear enough for site. Thorough enough for funders.

Every programme, plan and drawing is set out to be read quickly by the people who have to work to it. These are examples of the format.

Why Verulam

Written by people who have stood on the sites.

Most planning documents are produced by people who will never have to work to them. Ours are written from site and preconstruction experience, so the sequence is buildable, the logistics fit the plot and the conditions get discharged.

  • CMPs and CEMPs written to the council's own requirements, so they are approved without rounds of comments
  • Programmes logic-linked to a real critical path, ready for funders and monitoring surveyors
  • Building Safety Act gateways built into the plan for higher-risk buildings
  • Fixed fees agreed before we start
How it works

From brief to approved document.

  1. Brief

    Send drawings, the planning decision notice and the condition wording. We confirm scope, fee and timescale in writing within one working day.

  2. Draft

    We prepare the programme, plan or drawings and flag the assumptions and risks we have made.

  3. Review

    We walk you through it, take comments from your team and revise.

  4. Issue

    You receive final native files and PDFs. For CMPs we stay on through council comments until the condition is discharged.
