Services
Residential Extensions
We design and manage residential extensions tailored to your lifestyle needs. Our process begins with a free consultation to understand your requirements, followed by detailed site surveys and concept designs using computer-aided visualisation. We ensure compliance with UK planning regulations and provide working drawings for building control approval. Our team coordinates with structural engineers to deliver functional, aesthetically pleasing solutions for single or double-storey extensions.
Planning Applications
Our planning consultants guide you through the entire application process. We prepare comprehensive documentation demonstrating compliance with local planning laws, submit applications to the council, and manage any required revisions. We specialise in maximising approval chances by addressing all legislative requirements upfront. This includes preparing design and access statements, location plans, and heritage assessments where necessary.
New Build Homes
We offer full-service new home construction from concept to completion. Our services include site analysis, architectural design, planning permission acquisition, and building regulations compliance. We provide detailed construction drawings for contractors and manage party wall agreements. Our team collaborates with structural engineers to ensure technical precision while maintaining design integrity for bespoke family homes or investment properties.
Building Regulations
We prepare detailed technical drawings meeting UK building control standards. Our documentation covers structural calculations, thermal performance, accessibility, and fire safety requirements. We coordinate with approved inspectors or local authority building control departments to ensure smooth approvals. This includes full plans submissions, structural engineer certifications, and party wall award documentation for both residential and commercial projects.
Site Surveys
Our surveyors conduct comprehensive site evaluations to inform design decisions. We produce accurate measured surveys, topographical data, and condition reports for existing structures. This information forms the basis for concept designs and planning applications. We use digital tools to create 3D models that help visualise potential developments while identifying any constraints affecting your property.
