Services
Measured Building Surveys
Our detailed measured surveys capture precise building dimensions for accurate design development. Using advanced surveying equipment, we create floor plans, elevations, and cross-sections that form the foundation for all subsequent design work. This service supports both residential and commercial projects, ensuring design accuracy from the earliest stages.
Scheme Design
We develop tailored architectural concepts through collaborative client workshops. Our design process balances aesthetic considerations with practical functionality, producing detailed floor plans and elevations that evolve through client feedback. This service includes multiple design options where appropriate to explore different spatial solutions.
Principal Designer Service
We coordinate health and safety compliance across all project phases under CDM regulations. Our service includes risk assessment documentation, contractor coordination, and safety planning from design through to construction. This ensures full regulatory compliance while maintaining design integrity.
Planning Applications
We prepare and submit comprehensive planning applications with supporting documentation. Our expertise in local authority requirements accelerates approval timelines, particularly for complex cases involving listed buildings or challenging sites. We handle all communication with planning departments to streamline the process.
Working Drawings
Our detailed construction drawings meet both building control and contractor requirements. All cross-sections are drawn at 1:20 scale to demonstrate construction methodology, minimising on-site queries. These drawings form the basis for accurate cost estimation and smooth construction execution.
