Architectural Design
Our architectural design service creates bespoke solutions tailored to site-specific requirements. We combine modern CAD technology with traditional drawing techniques to develop innovative designs for residential, commercial, and heritage projects. Our approach prioritises client collaboration and regulatory compliance while maintaining aesthetic and functional integrity across schemes valued up to 30 million.
Historic Conservation
Specialist conservation services focus on preserving historic buildings while integrating modern requirements. With expertise in listed buildings and scheduled ancient monuments, we implement low-energy solutions that maintain structural integrity. Our team holds postgraduate qualifications in architectural conservation and has extensive experience in sensitive restoration projects across Cornwall.
Feasibility Studies
Comprehensive feasibility studies assess project viability through site analysis and budgetary planning. We evaluate planning constraints, building regulations, and cost implications to establish realistic project parameters. This service forms the foundation for subsequent design development and ensures alignment with client objectives from initial concept stages.
CDM Coordination
CDM coordination ensures compliance with construction design management regulations for notifiable projects. We manage health and safety requirements throughout the project lifecycle, coordinating between designers and contractors to implement safe working practices. This service is integrated with architectural design to maintain regulatory compliance and risk mitigation.

Full building regulation application preparation ensures compliance with current standards. We produce detailed technical drawings and specifications for approval, addressing structural, thermal, and accessibility requirements. Our team manages the submission process and liaises with local authorities to achieve successful project approvals for both new builds and renovation projects.
