Services
Architectural Design
Our architectural design service creates tailored solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial projects. We focus on balancing aesthetic appeal with functional requirements while adhering to local planning guidelines. Our team produces detailed 2D and 3D drawings to visualise your project accurately. With decades of experience, we ensure designs meet both client expectations and regulatory standards.
Planning Applications
We manage all aspects of planning applications, from pre-application consultations to final submissions. Our expertise includes handling outline, full, and householder applications, as well as listed building consents. We work closely with local authorities to maximise approval chances. Our track record demonstrates success in securing permissions for complex developments.
Building Regulations
Our building regulation service ensures projects meet all legal standards for safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency. We prepare full plans and building notices, and handle regularisation applications for existing structures. Our team's familiarity with local codes streamlines the approval process. We provide clear guidance to avoid costly compliance issues.
Measured Surveys
We conduct precise measured surveys to create accurate existing condition plans for land and buildings. These surveys form the foundation for renovation, extension, or new-build projects. Our team uses advanced tools to capture detailed spatial data. The resulting plans support design development and regulatory submissions.
SAP Calculations
Our SAP calculations ensure compliance with energy performance standards for new and existing buildings. We provide as-designed and as-built assessments to support EPCs (Energy Performance Certificates). These calculations help optimise energy efficiency while meeting regulatory requirements. We deliver clear reports to support planning and building control submissions.

I can't really tell you what quality, value or punctuality are like because after a rushed call and request for more details I never heard a thing from them. No money in it clearly
