Services
Architectural Design
Our architectural design service creates tailored solutions for residential and commercial projects. We develop initial concepts through detailed sketch proposals, ensuring optimal use of space and compliance with planning requirements. With 45 years' experience, we transform client visions into practical, award-winning designs that meet both aesthetic and functional needs.
Planning Permission
We manage the complete planning permission process, from initial feasibility assessments to final submissions. Our team prepares detailed drawings and coordinates third-party reports, ensuring all requirements are met. We track application progress and address consultee feedback, maximising approval chances while minimising delays for new builds and extensions.
Building Regulation Drawings
Our technical documentation service produces detailed building regulation drawings that meet statutory standards. We collaborate with structural engineers and energy assessors to ensure compliance with thermal performance, drainage, and safety requirements. These approved drawings provide contractors with precise construction instructions, ensuring projects meet UK building control standards.
Project Management
We provide comprehensive project management throughout the construction phase. Our team coordinates regular progress meetings, manages variations, and ensures adherence to contract timelines. We work with quantity surveyors to handle tender processes and cost assessments, maintaining quality control while safeguarding client interests during all development stages.
Professional Certificates
We issue Professional Consultant's Certificates confirming construction quality for new builds and conversions. These documents are essential for mortgage applications and future property sales. Our certification process verifies that completed works meet all regulatory standards, providing clients with formal assurance of their property's compliance and marketability.
