Architectural Plans
We create comprehensive architectural plans for residential extensions, conversions, and renovations. Our services include measured surveys, design proposals, and submission-ready documentation for planning and building regulation approvals. Each plan is tailored to client requirements with amendments included before finalisation.
Loft Conversions
Specialising in loft conversion designs, we maximise underutilised space for additional bedrooms, offices, or bathrooms. Our plans comply with building regulations and include structural calculations, ensuring safety and compliance while optimising headroom and layout efficiency.
Planning Applications
We manage full planning applications, including feasibility assessments and submission documentation. Our expertise in permitted development rights and lawful development certificates ensures compliance while minimising delays during local authority reviews.
Building Regulations
Our building regulation drawings provide detailed construction specifications for approval. We coordinate structural engineer input, ensure compliance with safety standards, and facilitate inspections to guarantee projects meet legal requirements.
Conservatory Designs
We design energy-efficient conservatories and orangeries with glazed roof lanterns. Our plans balance aesthetic appeal with functionality, ensuring compliance with permitted development limits and thermal performance standards.
