- Nil
- Our payment
- On grant only
- Risk carried
- By us
Third-party brief
Landowner commissions us to obtain consent without an option arrangement. Fixed fee with milestone payments. No contingency, no scope creep.

Drawn in only when the site asks for it.
We carry the core disciplines in-house. The rest is brought in by invitation — long-standing relationships with specialists who match our standards and don’t pad their hours.
