About our Architectural Services
If you’re interested in building your own home or office space, refurbishing, extending or converting a property, or are simply looking for advice and support, then our architectural services could be exactly what you’re looking for. Our architects will provide a bespoke service to suit your exact requirements, helping you to create exciting new spaces or bringing life into older ones.
Whether you need us to draw up the initial designs, create and execute contracts, project manage your building site, or survey the workmanship post-construction, we’ll be on hand from start to finish. Rely on us for tailored recommendations, and honest advice on likely limitations, and communication with your local building authorities.
Here’s some of the reasons we’re the right people to design your home extension:
We’re highly rated by lots of home extenders
We have a 95% planning approval rating
Our team know the planning permission requirements inside and out. This gives your project the greatest chance of getting the planning departments green light, so you can enjoy your new home sooner.
We’ve streamlined the process, without removing the expertise and humans
You’re busy and you have lots of things to deal with – the last thing you want is endless days off work to have long winded in-person conversations over pencil-drawn floor plans.
We visit once, to create a true-to-life digital scan of your property. After that, everything is typically handled online, on the phone or over teams with a minimum of fuss, so you can extend easy. We can make revisits though if your project is more complex, or you just want that in-person discussion to guide you through the process.
