Services
Residential Architecture
We specialise in creating bespoke residential solutions from loft conversions to new builds. Our process begins with detailed site measurements to produce accurate 3D models, which form the basis for planning applications and building regulations documentation. Clients benefit from immersive virtual reality walkthroughs to visualise final designs before construction begins.
Commercial Projects
Our commercial architecture services cover diverse sectors including sports facilities and office developments. We produce detailed technical drawings for planning and building control while maintaining design integrity through VR visualisation. This ensures stakeholders fully understand spatial relationships and finishes prior to project commencement.
Virtual Reality Presentations
We offer standalone VR presentations for architects and developers. Using Revit models and Autodesk Live, we create immersive experiences that can be presented on-site. This service helps clients and stakeholders better understand spatial designs without interpreting technical drawings, enhancing decision-making processes.
Building Regulations
We prepare detailed technical drawings required for building regulations approval. Our 3D models remain updated throughout the design process, allowing VR sessions to review compliance details. This approach ensures both regulatory adherence and client understanding of construction specifics.
Measured Surveys
Our measured building surveys form the foundation for all design work. We conduct precise site measurements to create accurate digital 3D models. These models serve as the basis for planning applications, design development, and regulatory submissions while supporting VR visualisation throughout the project lifecycle.
