We delve into the scope of work, considering both the practicalities and the possibilities within the confines of your property and local planning regulations.

Our Architectural Services

Our comprehensive architectural services guide you through each step of the project, from the initial concept to the finished build.

• Survey: We begin with a meticulous measured study of your existing property, creating detailed plans, sections, and elevations that form the foundation of our design proposals.

• Feasibility: This crucial stage involves thorough analysis of your existing plans and identifying potential limitations or opportunities within the layout. We explore various solutions to optimize space, ensuring efficient circulation and incorporating elements such as light, ventilation, and functionality, tailored to the specific needs of each room.

• Planning: Understanding the complexities of planning regulations is paramount. We navigate the legal intricacies, advising you on permitted development rights and guiding you through the application process. Whether it's an extension, a change of use, or alterations to a listed building, we prepare the necessary documentation and represent your interests as agent before the local planning authority.

• Detailed Design: Once planning consent is granted, we delve into the detailed design phase. We produce comprehensive construction drawings and specifications, incorporating structural design and calculations.

We ensure your project complies with all relevant building regulations, providing the necessary drawings and information to obtain quotes from reputable building contractors.
