We specialise in residential design, from housing developments to house extensions and refurbishments. Our architectural design team offer local expertise in Kent and the surrounding counties, and provide peace of mind with a personal, tailored service. Our aim is to maximise the potential of your property with carefully considered spaces and exceptional finishes. Whether you are planning to extend, alter or create a new property we can help from concept to completion.
Building Design Studio is an architectural practice founded in 2009. Although relatively new, we host more than 15 years of experience working within the residential sector. We have worked with large architectural companies that deal with some of the largest house builders in the country, such as Persimmon, Bellway, Taylor Wimpey and Bellwinch. This has given us an extensive range of experience and technical expertise in the residential sector. Buying a home that needs redesigning and refurbishing, or doing up the home you already live in, can seem like a dauntingly complex challenge.
Design and build is a strong sector within our company which is becoming even more popular as people work harder and longer hours. As clients physically don't have the time to chase builders, engineers, councils or deal with site issues that often arise on site, we provide one price which covers everything and one person for them to deal with. Having designed the project ourselves, we are aware of the potential pitfalls and issues that may occur during the build process. This allows us to respond quickly and solve any problems within a short timeframe so there is minimal disruption to the project and its delivery.
We offer a full or part architectural service that gives you the flexibility to choose the right services you need for your project, keeping you in control from start to finish. Every project has its own complexities, with some proving to be easier than others. Therefore you may not require all the following stages of work that we offer. With our bespoke architectural services, you can choose to use us as much or as little as you need.
Our vision is to offer our clients a cost effective solution to the traditional RIBA fees which typically range from 8 - 15% of the build cost. As the higher fee for this full architects service is often unfeasible for smaller and more straightforward projects, we offer a unique solution that meets the individual needs of the client. We believe in creating buildings and spaces that are intended for their use and designed to our client's individual requirements, rather than just creating an award-winning masterpiece that offers no real practical use.
The majority of people who have never had a home extension or built a house will probably not have dealt with an design team, nor be aware of the process or role that an architectural design team will take on. The process will normally begin with a site visit to dicuss brief design options followed by a written quotation. Please note you may not require us to carry out all of the above. However, we are more than happy to assist you with as many or as few of these stages as required.
If you would like to build an extension, in an ideal world you would tell a builder what you have in mind and let him build it. However, only an architectural design team will be able to creatively interpret your ideas and manage your project professionally to provide you with value for money, peace of mind and most importantly, an exceptional end result. Value for money - a well-designed building or extension can reduce costs, increase in long-term value and accommodate future development. Peace of mind - an architectural design team can manage and co-ordinate your project from site selection to project completion, ensuring it is built to your designs, specifications and exact requirements.
