Services
Residential Extensions
Design and planning of residential extensions including single/double storey additions. Our team creates functional spaces that complement existing properties while meeting building regulations. We handle all aspects from initial concept sketches to construction documentation, ensuring seamless integration with your current living environment. Clients receive 3D visualisations to preview proposed changes before work begins.
Planning Applications
Comprehensive planning submission services for residential and commercial developments. We prepare detailed documentation demonstrating compliance with local authority requirements, maximising approval chances. Our consultants manage communication with planning departments and address any conditions or objections that arise during the process. This includes preparing design and access statements where required.
Building Control
Preparation of technical drawings and specifications for building regulations approval. We ensure all new works meet UK safety, health, and environmental standards. Our packages include structural calculations from partner engineers and detailed construction details. We coordinate with building control bodies to facilitate smooth inspections throughout the project lifecycle.
Site Surveys
Detailed measured surveys of existing properties using modern equipment. We produce accurate floor plans, elevations, and cross-sections as foundation for design work. Surveys identify structural elements, existing services, and potential constraints affecting development proposals. This forms the basis for all subsequent architectural drawings and planning submissions.
New Builds
Full-service design and project management for new residential constructions. From concept development to final inspections, we create bespoke homes tailored to client specifications. Our services include selecting appropriate building materials, coordinating with contractors, and ensuring energy efficiency standards are met throughout the construction process.
