Services
Measured surveys
We conduct precise property measurements to create accurate architectural drawings. Our surveys form the foundation for renovation projects, planning applications, and building regulation submissions. The data collected ensures all subsequent design work aligns with existing structures.
Planning services
We prepare and submit planning applications while advising on permitted development rights. Our services include scheme drawings, pre-planning consultations, and documentation for local authority submissions. We ensure compliance with current planning regulations and local authority requirements.
Building regulation services
We prepare detailed drawings and documentation to meet building regulation standards. Our services include liaison with structural engineers, submission of applications, and ongoing compliance support throughout the construction process to ensure legal requirements are satisfied.
Contract administration
We manage contractual arrangements between clients and contractors, including payment valuations, site inspections, and final certification. Our administration ensures contractual obligations are met while maintaining quality standards throughout project delivery.
3D visualisation
We create three-dimensional property representations to help clients visualise proposed developments. This technology enables better understanding of design concepts before construction begins, supporting informed decision-making about project aesthetics and functionality.
