Initial Consultation We offer a free, no-obligation initial consultation to discuss your project, whether it is a home extension, loft conversion, refurbishment, commercial fit-out, listed-building project or new build. We listen to your ideas, explain the planning and regulatory context, and outline the most efficient route to approval and construction. 2. Brief & Site Survey Every successful project starts with a clear brief and accurate information. We record your requirements, budget and objectives, then carry out a detailed measured site survey. This allows us to develop designs that are practical, compliant and responsive to the existing building and its context. 3. Design Development Using your brief, we create bespoke architectural designs that maximise the potential of your property while meeting planning policies, Building Regulations and your lifestyle or business needs. We work closely with you through sketch options, plan revisions and 3D visuals until the design is fully developed and ready for submission. 4. Planning Permission & Licences We manage the entire planning application process on your behalf, preparing and submitting all required documents to the local authority, including Heritage Statements, Design and Access Statements and supporting reports. We liaise with planning officers, respond to queries and negotiate amendments to secure a successful outcome for all types of applications and permissions. 5. Building Regulations & Technical Design Once planning approval is secured (where required), we prepare detailed technical drawings and Building Regulations packages for construction. These comprehensive drawings provide builders with the information needed to accurately price and construct your project. We can also provide 3D visualisations and coordinate fire-safety and services information as part of the technical design. 6. Construction Support Our service does not have to end when construction begins. We can provide ongoing architectural support throughout the build, working alongside your chosen contractor to answer technical queries, review progress and help ensure your project is delivered to the highest standard, in line with the approved drawings and specifications.
