Services
Architectural Design
We create tailored architectural designs for residential and commercial projects, focusing on functional spaces that balance modern needs with aesthetic appeal. Our process begins with client briefs and feasibility studies, progressing through 3D modelling and detailed drawings. We ensure all designs meet regulatory requirements while maintaining architectural integrity across Hampshire and southern England.
Listed Building Consent
Specialising in historic properties, we navigate complex conservation requirements for listed buildings and conservation areas. Our expertise includes preparing detailed drawings and specifications that satisfy planning authorities while preserving historical character. We collaborate with conservation officers to achieve approvals for projects ranging from minor alterations to major renovations across southern England.
Planning Applications
We manage the complete planning application process, from initial feasibility studies to submission. Our services include creating measured surveys, preparing planning drawings, and advising on local authority requirements. We specialise in securing approvals for challenging sites, including those with restricted access or within protected areas across Hampshire and surrounding regions.
Project Management
We provide comprehensive project management services, including preparing contract documents, obtaining builder tenders, and creating detailed project programmes. Our approach ensures budget control through accurate scheduling and material quantification. We support clients throughout construction phases, coordinating with structural engineers and builders to maintain quality and adherence to timelines.
3D Modelling
Our 3D modelling services visualise architectural concepts, helping clients understand spatial relationships before construction. This technology aids in refining designs, testing material choices, and presenting proposals to planning authorities. We use digital models to enhance communication with clients and contractors, ensuring clear understanding of project details before implementation.
