Our services

Architectural Drawing

Our architectural design services start with understanding your needs, lifestyle, and budget. We then translate your ideas into precise drawings that meet planning requirements and guide the construction process.

• Detailed floor plans, elevations, and sections.

• Drawings optimised for builder use and authority submission.

• Integration of structural considerations for seamless execution.

• Scalable designs for small and large projects.

These technical documents don’t just communicate your vision, they ensure it’s built correctly, safely, and to regulation.

Planning Permission

Navigating the planning process can be daunting. Our architectural planning services are designed to handle the details effortlessly.

• Preparing and submitting planning applications.

• Listen to local authorities to answer queries.

• Ensuring designs comply with UK planning and building regulations.

• Advising on permitted development rights to save time and costs.

Whether it's a new residential project, house extension, loft conversion, garage conversion or a more complex renovation, we simplify the approval process for faster results.

Building Regulations

Almost every project requires Building Regulations, this can be in the form of a simple 'Building Notice' for minor works to 'Full Plans' application. Everyone has a part to play to ensure your project is safe and meets current regulations.

You're required by law to ensure your project complies with Building Regulations, this means you must engage a Principal Designer and Principal Contractor.

Our responsibilities extend beyond drawings and submissions. We're legally required to act as your Principal Designer and must ensure your project is designed safely.

Your builder assumes the role of the Principal Contractor, meaning they're legally required to ensure the project is built safely.
