Services
Architectural Design
Our architectural design service creates tailored solutions balancing client aspirations with regulatory requirements. We develop concepts through measured surveys, feasibility studies, and iterative design options. Specialising in heritage-sensitive projects and contemporary developments, we ensure compliance with planning and building regulations while maintaining design integrity.
Planning Applications
We manage planning applications including heritage assessments for listed buildings. Our expertise covers permitted development rights, party wall agreements, and technical compliance. We prepare detailed submissions to secure planning permissions and listed building consents across southern England.
Technical Design
Post-planning technical design ensures building regulation compliance. We produce detailed specifications, construction drawings, and schedules for competitive tendering. Our service includes structural coordination, drainage assessments, and specification of materials meeting safety standards.
Construction Stage Services
We offer contract administration during construction, including site inspections, payment certification, and snag resolution. Our time-based service supports client-builder coordination or provides full contractual oversight, ensuring works meet approved designs and regulatory requirements.
Low-Energy Retrofit
Our low-energy retrofit service integrates carbon reduction strategies with architectural design. We advise on insulation, ventilation, and renewable systems while maintaining heritage constraints. Solutions align with conservation principles and modern energy efficiency standards.
