We begin with a friendly conversation to understand your ideas, budget, and timescales. This can take place at your home, over the phone, or online. At this stage, we’ll listen carefully to your requirements, answer any early questions, and advise on whether planning permission or building regulations approval will be required.
Next, we carry out a detailed measured survey of your property. This allows us to produce accurate existing drawings — the foundation for all design work. We use professional equipment and software to ensure everything is recorded precisely.
With the survey complete, we develop design options tailored to your needs. We’ll explore layouts, styles, and finishes, presenting ideas for discussion. This stage is collaborative — you’ll have the chance to review, refine, and steer the design until it feels right.
If your project requires planning permission, we handle the application process for you. This includes preparing drawings, forms, and liaising with your local planning authority. Our knowledge of local planning policies helps give your project the best chance of approval.
Once planning is secured (or if only building regulations are required), we prepare the technical drawings needed for Building Control approval and for your builder to follow on site. These drawings cover construction details, compliance with UK Building Regulations, and coordination with any structural calculations where required.
We can provide drawings and information to help you gather quotes from builders. During the build, we remain on hand to answer technical queries, update drawings if needed, and make sure your project stays on track.
