The LA Way Part 4: Deliver with Control
The final stage of The LA Way is ‘Deliver with Control’, when the rigorous definition, bold design and precise development of the three previous stages come to fruition during the construction phase.
Delivering with control means empowering the wider project team while maintaining clear oversight of programme, quality and execution. It requires proactive project management, attention to detail and the swift resolution of challenges without compromising the integrity of the client’s vision and our design.

Step three of The LA Way is where our client’s vision is transformed into coordinated technical reality. This stage is where communication, coordination and technical excellence become critical.

8 questions to ask before designing your home
Before we commence any residential project, we ask our clients to complete a detailed briefing questionnaire. Refined over many years of experience working on True Prime® homes, this survey contains questions that inform not only our designs, but also the approach we take to the project and the partners we choose to work with.
To assist anyone planning a residential project and preparing to approach an architect, we have distilled this process into eight crucial questions that are worth answering before the briefing process begins:
True Prime®: Defining Excellence in Architectural Design and Delivery
Recently, LA London’s partners have revisited our mission and vision, and in doing so have clarified the values we hold true, the standards we expect of ourselves, and the commitments we make to our clients. We refer to these qualities as True Prime, a standard that formalises and captures in a single term the principles that have always been deeply embedded in the practice and its values. Here, we explain what True Prime means and why it matters.
Extraordinary Requests. Meticulously Delivered.
One of the privileges of working in the true prime residential sector is that no two briefs are ever the same. Our clients often come to us with highly personal aspirations, unique interests and requirements that demand exceptional levels of creativity, technical expertise and coordination. Here are some of the more notable requests we have helped deliver over the years.
