Architectural services

We carry out precise measured surveys of existing buildings using the latest tools and techniques. These surveys form the foundation of your architectural drawings and include existing floor plans, elevations, and sections. This service ensures design accuracy and avoids costly errors later in the process.

Our concept design phase transforms your ideas into inspiring architectural proposals. We develop layouts, spatial arrangements, and visualisations that reflect your brief, budget, and aspirations. This is a collaborative stage where we explore design possibilities through sketches, discussion, and potentially 3D modelling.

We provide expert planning advice based on your local authority's guidelines and national planning policies. Our team handles the preparation and submission of all necessary planning applications, including drawings, planning statements, and consultation with planning officers and consultants - streamlining the approval process for your project.

After planning approval or concept design, we develop your design in greater detail. This involves selecting materials, integrating structural systems, and ensuring the proposal meets your performance, aesthetic, and functional requirements. We also coordinate with consultants like engineers and sustainability specialists to ensure a fully integrated detailed design solution.

We prepare comprehensive technical drawings and specifications to secure Building Regulations approval. This includes addressing structural integrity, insulation, fire safety, drainage, accessibility, and more. Our detailed design packages also provide essential information for builders during construction.

We manage the tendering process to help you appoint a trusted contractor. From preparing tender documents to evaluating bids and negotiating terms, we ensure transparency and help you make informed decisions. This results in better cost control and quality outcomes during construction.

Acting as your contract administrator, we oversee the building process and manage the construction contract. We conduct regular site inspections, review contractor progress, manage variations, and assess valuations. Our role ensures your project is built to the agreed quality, budget, and timeframe.

We offer full architectural project management services, coordinating all consultants, timelines, and deliverables. Our proactive approach ensures smooth communication between all parties, keeps the project on schedule, and resolves any issues swiftly giving you peace of mind from start to finish.

We integrate sustainability from the outset, using passive design, eco-friendly materials, and renewable technologies. Whether you're targeting BREEAM, Passivhaus, or aiming for lower operational costs, we deliver environmentally responsible designs that meet tomorrow's climate and energy standards.

Our feasibility studies assess the development potential of a site or property. We analyse planning constraints, site access, massing options, and financial viability to help you decide whether to proceed with a project. Ideal for property investors, developers, and homeowners alike.

Using 3D modelling and visualisation, we help clients visualise their projects in realistic detail in a 3D environment. These tools improve decision-making, coordination with consultants, and clarity during planning and construction, reducing risk and enhancing design outcomes.

As Principal Designer under the CDM Regulations 2015, we take responsibility for managing health and safety during the pre-construction phase of your project. Our role includes identifying and mitigating risks through thoughtful design, coordinating with the wider project team, and ensuring legal compliance with health and safety legislation. We prepare and maintain key documentation such as the pre-construction information and the health and safety file, helping to create a safer, more efficient construction process. This service is essential for both domestic and commercial clients undertaking notifiable works in the UK.
