Our Design Process
We begin with a free consultation to discuss your ideas and requirements. We'll advise on design possibilities, planning considerations, and budget expectations. This meeting helps us understand your vision and allows you to decide if we're the right fit for your project.
Once instructed, we'll conduct a detailed survey of your property. Using this information, we create existing drawings and develop initial design proposals that align with your brief and consider planning regulations.
We present our initial designs and work closely with you to refine them. This collaborative process ensures the final design meets your expectations and adheres to planning guidelines.
With your approval, we prepare and submit a comprehensive planning application. This includes all necessary drawings, forms, and documents. We liaise with the local authority throughout the process, addressing any queries to smooth the path to approval.
Once planning is secured, we move to the technical phase. We produce detailed construction drawings and specifications, ensuring your project complies with building regulations. We can also assist with structural calculations if required.
While many clients manage their own build, we're here to support you throughout the construction phase. We can help with contractor selection, site visits, and resolving any design queries that arise during the build.
Planning and Building Regulations
Planning permission is often required for new buildings, major alterations to existing buildings, and changes to building use. Some projects may fall under permitted development rights. We'll assess your specific case and advise accordingly.
Building regulations ensure the safety, health, and welfare of people in and around buildings. They also cover energy conservation and accessibility. All building projects, whether new builds, extensions, or alterations, must comply with building regulations.
We handle the entire planning process for you:
- Assess whether planning permission is required
- Prepare and submit comprehensive planning applications
- Liaise with the local planning authority
- Arrange pre-application advice for complex projects
- Householder Planning Applications
- Full Planning Applications
- Listed Building Consent
- Conservation Area Consent
- Lawful Development Certificates
- Change of Use Applications
- Outline Planning Applications
- Reserved Matters Applications
