Services
Architectural Services
We provide a full range of architectural services integrated with our in-house planning consultancy. Our qualified architects bring years of design training and industry experience, offering specialisms from a wide portfolio. We tailor the service level to each client's needs, delivering exciting, forward-thinking proposals that add value through creativity and listening.
Planning Services
We provide strategic planning services that promote sites for allocation within development plans and secure necessary consents for development to proceed. Our expertise includes submitting sites to SHLAA/SHELAA calls and meeting with planning officers to guide proposals through the approval process. By integrating planning with architecture, we deliver outcomes that add financial value and demonstrably improve places.
Concept design
We develop concept designs that translate client briefs into clear visual options, supported by detailed site analysis. Our concept work includes 3D visualisation to help clients visualise spatial qualities and material palettes early in the process. These designs explore multiple alternatives, ensuring the chosen solution aligns with functional, aesthetic and sustainability goals before moving to detailed design.
Planning applications
We prepare and submit planning applications that clearly present the design intent and comply with local policy requirements. Our team manages all necessary documentation, including design and access statements, to support a smooth approval process. By maintaining proactive communication with planning officers, we aim to secure timely consents that keep the project on schedule.
Construction stage advice
We provide construction stage advice to ensure the design intent is faithfully realised on site. Our team monitors workmanship, coordinates with contractors, and addresses any issues that arise during the build. This proactive support helps maintain quality, keeps the programme on track, and protects the client's investment.
