What to expect from us
What to expect from us
We offer a wide range of services that can be tailored to suit your specific needs.
Whether you're looking for an online concept design to help you visualize your ideas, or a full technical package and site delivery, we can help. We understand that every project is different, and we will work closely with you to ensure that you get the services you need to achieve your goals.
We are professionally trained to turn your aspirations into reality. We will guide you through the design, planning, building control approval and construction process, whether you are constructing a new building or adapting an existing property.
Please refer to the list below for an outline of the services that we provide, which break down what you should expect at each point, step by step. These will be tailored to be specific to your project and we can be involved for any of the stages you require.
Step 1 Preparation and Brief - Survey
Step 1 Preparation and Brief - Survey
We'll spend time understanding your needs, and getting to know you and your aspirations. We help you define your brief and gather initial information about the site, so that we have a clear picture of the constraints and intentions for the project.
At this stage we'll arrange a meeting at your home to for a discussion and then make arrangements for a set of survey drawings of the existing house.
Step 2 Concept Design
Step 2 Concept Design
This is the stage where ideas start coming to life. Using the initial brief we will develop some outline proposals and work with you to create something that reflects your aspirations and provides you with a home that adds value and improves your quality of life.
At this stage you should expect a presentation with concept plans, along with inspirational images to help convey our ideas across.
We will also advise on any planning requirements and which route is required to go down in order to materialise the scheme.
Step 3 Developed Design - Planning Permission / Permitted Development Rights
Step 3 Developed Design - Planning Permission / Permitted Development Rights
At this stage, we will take the design to the next level and proceed to formalise a set of drawings, transforming the ideas into something that can be built. At this stage you should expect plans, elevations, and images showing your space in 3D.
Once the design is approved, the proposals will then be submitted for planning approval. If the work can be carried out using permitted development rights, then the drawings are submitted to the council for a Lawful Development Certificate (LDC). We'll take care of all the paperwork for you.
Step 4 Technical Design - Building Regulations Application
Step 4 Technical Design - Building Regulations Application
At this stage we'll create detailed architectural drawings which will be used to construct the building. The drawings will be fully coordinated with any external consultants, such as structural engineers, which may be required at this stage to provide structural calculations for steel beams, as an example.
We can then submit this information to the council for checking and obtaining building regulations approval.
Step 5 Construction
Step 5 Construction
We'll put you in contact with the best contractor to build the scheme we have designed together. The drawings produced during technical design can be used to price a tender, which we can arrange for you.
We can be as involved as you like during the construction phase, from carrying out visits, dealing with queries and even administering a contract.
