From first meeting to signing off when the work is finished, our process is truly comprehensive. At the heart of this is a vital combination: a secure vision of the project as a whole, and an unerring attention to detail.
Consultation
Our business is in architectural design and architecture. We’re familiar with the changing demands that modern life puts on housing of all ages. We recognise that needs evolve over time and that homes can be significantly improved by relatively simple changes – and occasionally by some complex and ingenious ones!
Planning
Our architectural practice includes a practical and in-depth understanding of the laws and regulations around Planning and Permitted Development. However, it’s about more than knowing the regulations. Our local knowledge includes understanding how local Planning policies are interpreted by Planning officers – meaning our advice is always up to date and focused on achieving the results you need.
Building Regulations
Building Regulations are the rules which govern the standards of construction throughout the UK. Enforcing these standards, which are primarily about health and safety, is known as Building Control. Nearly every building project, including house extensions and loft conversions, must comply with the regulations.
Meeting the requirements of Building Regulations is usually a condition of Planning Permission, but you will also need to comply if your work comes under Permitted Development Rights.
