Services
Architectural Design
We provide comprehensive architectural design solutions for residential and commercial projects. Our team creates tailored designs that balance aesthetic appeal with functional requirements, ensuring compliance with planning regulations and building standards. Specialising in both modern and heritage projects, we deliver detailed plans that transform client visions into buildable realities through collaborative design processes.
Listed Buildings
Our practice specialises in working with listed and historical buildings. We combine sensitive design approaches with technical expertise to preserve architectural heritage while meeting modern functionality needs. This includes detailed condition assessments, conservation plans, and obtaining necessary planning permissions for alterations or extensions to protected structures.
Planning Applications
We prepare and submit planning applications with supporting documentation including scale drawings and design statements. Our team ensures all submissions meet local authority requirements, maximising approval chances through thorough pre-application consultations and addressing potential objections during the planning process.
Construction Drawings
We produce detailed construction drawings for building regulations approval and contractor pricing. These technical plans include specifications for materials, dimensions, and structural requirements, working alongside quantity surveyors to ensure accurate cost estimations and smooth project execution from design to physical completion.
Measured Surveys
Our measured survey service creates precise architectural drawings of existing sites. We use specialist topographical survey companies when needed to capture accurate site data, forming the foundation for all subsequent design work and ensuring new developments integrate seamlessly with existing structures and landscapes.
