How our architectural services work
If you've never undertaken construction work on a property before, the prospect may be daunting. Fortunately, this is the world we work in daily, meaning we're deeply familiar with the complexities of planning applications, planning permission and building regulations.
Step 1 - We listen to your requirements
Whether you're planning a loft conversion, a rear extension to a house, or a change to a commercial property, you probably have in your mind a picture of how you want that space to look and feel.We listen to your requirements, review any initial drawings you've made, and discuss your budget and your expectations for how long the project might take.If you have a property you'd like to make structural changes to, but you're unsure of exactly what you could do, we'll listen as you explain what you'd like to achieve.
Having listened, we share our professional advice on what your best options are for an alteration, extension or conversion that will meet your needs. This consultation will give you a much clearer idea of how your construction project could proceed.
Step 2 - We create the plans for your project
