Architectural Design Services
We create detailed architectural designs for residential and commercial properties, including extensions, conversions, and new builds. Our services cover concept design, technical drawings, and regulatory compliance. With 3D modelling capabilities, clients can visualise projects before implementation.
Planning Applications
Our planning experts prepare and submit applications to local authorities, ensuring compliance with regulations. We handle enforcement issues, appeals, and certificate of lawfulness applications. With extensive knowledge of London borough requirements, we maximise approval chances for complex developments.
Structural Calculations
We provide comprehensive structural calculations for all building projects. This includes load-bearing assessments, material specifications, and compliance with building regulations. Our in-house engineers ensure technical accuracy for planning submissions and construction phases.
3D Modelling
Our 3D scanning and modelling services create accurate digital representations of properties. This technology helps visualise extensions, conversions, and new builds, showing structural elements and spatial relationships to aid decision-making and planning applications.
Measured Surveys
We conduct detailed site surveys using LiDAR scanning equipment to capture precise building measurements. These surveys form the foundation for planning applications, structural calculations, and design development across residential and commercial projects.
