Services
Architectural Design
We offer tailored architectural design for residential and commercial projects, including new builds, extensions, and conversions. Our process begins with client consultations to understand requirements, followed by sketch designs and detailed planning. With over 45 years of experience, we ensure creative solutions that align with statutory standards and client visions.
Planning Permission
Our team prepares and submits planning applications, including necessary reports and fees. We coordinate with local authorities and third parties to address consultee or public feedback. By managing ecological and arboricultural reports, we streamline approvals, ensuring compliance and minimising delays for residential and commercial developments.
Technical Documentation
We produce detailed building regulation drawings in collaboration with structural engineers and energy assessors. These documents ensure compliance with UK standards for structural integrity, thermal performance, and safety. Our technical specifications support contractors in executing projects accurately, from foundations to finishes, meeting statutory and client requirements.
Professional Consultant Certificates
We issue Professional Consultant Certificates for new builds and conversions, confirming construction quality. These documents are essential for securing mortgages or future sales. Our certificates provide assurance to lenders and buyers, verifying that projects meet regulatory standards and industry best practices.
Party Wall Agreements
While we do not draft party wall agreements, we provide expert guidance on compliance with the Party Wall Act 1996. Our advice ensures clients understand their obligations when undertaking extensions or outbuildings affecting neighbouring properties, facilitating legal and neighbourly compliance.
