Services
Architectural Design
Our architectural design service transforms client visions into practical, site-specific plans. We specialise in residential projects ranging from small extensions to large-scale new builds. Using advanced CAD technology, we create detailed drawings that balance aesthetic appeal with regulatory compliance. Our approach ensures cost-effective solutions tailored to individual budgets and requirements.
Planning Permission
We manage full planning permission applications for residential developments. Our expertise covers householder planning consent, new builds, and change-of-use projects. We prepare compliant documentation, liaise with local authorities, and ensure applications meet all legal requirements. This service reduces approval timelines while maximising the chances of successful submissions.
Building Regulations
Our building regulations service ensures projects meet statutory standards. We prepare technical drawings, coordinate structural calculations, and submit documentation to local building control departments. We also manage specialist requirements like energy efficiency assessments and accessibility standards, ensuring complete compliance throughout the construction process.
Boundary Surveys
Boundary survey services resolve legal ownership disputes and support property transactions. We combine on-site measurements with Ordnance Survey data to create Land Registry-compliant drawings. These surveys identify discrepancies between physical and legal boundaries, providing essential documentation for planning applications and property development projects.
CAD Drawings
We produce precise architectural drawings using the latest CAD software. Our services include floor plans, elevations, cross-sections, and 3D visualisations. These drawings support planning applications, building regulations submissions, and construction phases. The digital format ensures accuracy and facilitates easy revisions throughout the project lifecycle.
