Our Services

Planning

We can help get you get planning approval for your project. We specialise in planning applications for alterations, extensions, renovations, conversions and new build dwellings. We prepare pre-apps, outline, full, householder, conservation area and reserved matters applications amongst others.

Design

We’ll design your project to your brief, while taking into consideration any regulatory or physical constraints to create a functional, desirable and cost effective design solution. We carry out measured building surveys, basic level surveys and produce 2D and 3D existing and proposed architectural plans to gain planning approval.

Specification

Once you have planning approval we can handle your building regulations approval too. We can provide you with detailed construction drawings and specification and submit these to the local authority building control department. These detailed construction drawings can also act as tender and contract documents.
