Services
Architectural Design
We create tailored architectural solutions for residential properties, developing initial concepts through to final detailed designs. Our approach balances aesthetic considerations with practical functionality while addressing structural requirements. The service includes client consultation to understand spatial needs and project objectives.
Planning Applications
We manage the entire planning permission process including submission preparation and regulatory compliance. Our expertise covers pre-application advice to maximise approval chances and addressing conservation area requirements. We guide clients through the eight-week planning timeline and subsequent building regulation process.
Building Control Submissions
We ensure all regulatory requirements are met through detailed building control documentation. This includes structural calculations, SAP assessments, and water authority coordination. Our service covers both traditional building regulation approvals and alternative certification options.
Feasibility Studies
We conduct comprehensive evaluations to determine project viability considering budget constraints, spatial limitations, and regulatory factors. Our analysis includes cost assessments, structural considerations, and impact evaluations for listed buildings or conservation areas.
Photoshop Presentations
We produce detailed digital visualisations to demonstrate how completed projects will integrate with existing structures. These presentations aid planning applications and help clients understand spatial relationships, material choices, and design details.
