Services
Planning permission drawings
Our planning permission drawings include detailed 2D floor plans, elevation views, and roof plans required for council submissions. We produce industry-standard documentation packages that meet local authority requirements while incorporating 3D visualisations to help clients visualise their projects. Our draughtsmen ensure all measurements and specifications comply with current building regulations.
Building regulation drawings
We create comprehensive building regulation drawings that include structural details, insulation specifications, and safety compliance information. These detailed plans ensure projects meet all legal requirements and include necessary technical specifications for construction teams. Our packages often incorporate structural calculations from certified engineers.
3D visualisation
Our 3D visualisation service provides photorealistic renders of proposed developments to help clients understand their projects. These digital visualisations show exterior designs from multiple angles and are included free with all planning packages to aid council submissions and personal decision-making.
Site surveys
We conduct detailed site surveys to capture accurate measurements and property conditions. Our surveyors typically complete average-sized properties in 1-2 hours, collecting all necessary data for drawing production during a single visit to ensure project accuracy.
Structural calculations
We provide structural calculation packages through our network of certified engineers. These essential documents support building regulation applications and ensure proposed designs meet all safety and compliance standards for foundations, walls, and roof structures.
