The Hospice Design Consultancy offers the following services:

1) Hospice building design consultancy

Mr. Moorhouse —

• Meets with the hospice group to review the proposed project and help to develop a program and the formation of a building committee.
• Helps with site selection.
• Along with the building committee, interviews and helps to select a suitable architect for the project.
• Works with the selected architect to help them fully understand the design problems associated with in-patient hospice buildings.
• Reviews all plans produced by the architect as they develop, and provides on-going, constructive critical analysis.
• Remains involved in an advisory capacity throughout the project until completion.

By reviewing all plans prepared by the projects' architect, it allows for a series of 'checks and balances' during the design process. This gives the architect someone with whom to bounce ideas back and forth, and provides a second pair of eyes to help catch oversights within the design.

Special effort is made to work closely with the selected architect to work together towards the common goal of creating a well designed building. This involves lengthy meetings at the onset of the project as well as reviewing all the architects work as it is produced.

2) Hospice building design consultancy and preliminary design

Mr. Moorhouse provides all the services outlined above with the addition of formulating the preliminary design of the building - working closely with the hospice group. Once the design is approved by the hospice building committee, a local architect will then be selected to continue the development of the design, prepare the construction drawings and specifications, and oversee the building construction.

3) Initial Consultancy

Mr. Moorhouse will also meet with hospice planning groups at an early stage, before a decision is made to build a new facility, to assist the group in understanding the process involved in creating a new facility.
