Services
Planning Feasibility Designs
We provide initial feasibility designs for residential projects, from thumbnail sketches to detailed proposals showing house types, parking provisions, and highway layouts. Our services help clients assess commercial viability through development reviews and alternative scheme comparisons. This early-stage analysis enables informed decision-making about project potential and planning consent prospects.
Technical Drawing Packages
Our technical design service creates comprehensive working drawing packages for housing developments of all sizes. We produce detailed construction drawings, site layouts, and legal conveyance plans tailored to client requirements. These packages support building control submissions and coordinate with specialist consultants to ensure regulatory compliance and construction efficiency.
Lead Consultant Services
We act as lead consultant, coordinating design teams and managing project programmes from initial design through to construction. Our services include phased drawing releases, regular design team meetings, and compliance with NHBC standards and building regulations. This holistic approach ensures timely delivery of integrated design solutions.
Building Regulations Compliance
We ensure technical designs meet current building regulations and NHBC standards. Our services include preparing compliance plans for affordable housing standards, lifetime homes requirements, and accessibility regulations. We manage statutory approvals processes and resolve site queries through direct liaison with building control authorities.
Health and Safety Coordination
In partnership with Wenlock Health and Safety Limited, we provide CDM 2015 compliance services. This includes risk assessments, hazard identification, and coordination with principal designers. Our approach integrates health and safety considerations throughout the design process to ensure safe construction practices and regulatory compliance.
