Planning Applications
We specialise in preparing and submitting planning applications for residential and commercial developments. Our team maintains direct communication with local authorities to ensure compliance with regulations while meeting client requirements. With expertise in Home Extensions, Flat Conversions, and New Build Houses, we guide clients through the entire process from initial design to approval.
Building Surveys
Our Chartered Surveyors conduct detailed building surveys to assess property conditions and identify potential issues. These surveys inform clients about structural integrity, necessary repairs, and maintenance requirements. We provide clear, actionable reports to support informed decision-making for residential and commercial property transactions.
Schedules of Condition
We prepare comprehensive schedules of condition to document property status before construction or lease commencement. These records protect clients by establishing baseline conditions and clarifying liability for future damages. Our reports are used in legal and contractual contexts to prevent disputes over property dilapidations.
Party Wall Agreements
Our surveyors specialise in resolving party wall matters and boundary disputes between property owners. We provide impartial assessments and negotiate agreements that comply with legal requirements. Our expertise helps clients avoid conflicts while ensuring proper documentation for construction projects affecting shared boundaries.
Project Management
We offer end-to-end project management for property development schemes. Our services include coordinating structural engineers, managing building control approvals, and overseeing contractor performance. We ensure projects meet regulatory standards while maintaining client communication throughout the development process.

My husband and I are delighted with the plans that Sabina drew for us. We expected a basic box on the back of our house but Sabina created something that, when built, will be stunning! She listened carefully to our wants and needs and designed a extension way beyond our expectations. Thanks Sabina!

Andrew and team provided a friendly speedy service with excellent communication throughout the whole process. All our options were clearly explained and where possible, Andrew was happy to accommodate our requests and alterations to his drawings. ROChaus also delivered our drawings including the Licence to Alter and the deed deposit Docs on time as promised. We found the guys to be professional, friendly with aneye for detail.

Sadly a very poor service from this architect. I had to chase multiple times for feedback and answers and still left with no response today. My pre- application process took a lot longer than normal due to errors dealing with the council. Unless you have a large project I don't think you will be well looked after :-(
