Thinking of extending?


We offer a complete design service, including concept ideas, detailed drawings for planning and building regulations, and all application documentation completed on you behalf.
 
We can review your project for it's extension potential, provide you with planning and design advise and offer additional ideas and visualizations to your project.
 
So whether you are looking for a small extension, a complete new build or anything else requiring planning and or building regulations, we can offer an effective service at a great price.

Our services include:

Stage1: Outline/Scheme Design
Following our initial consultation, we conduct a full survey of the property, gather your requirements and ideas and produce a number of outline options for you to review. To assist this process, we produce a 3D computer model of the design.

Stage2: Planning

Once you have agreed on a design, we produce a full set of drawings to submit to your local planning department. If the project is complex, or there are local planning considerations to be incorporated (e.g. conservation area), we will meet with the planning department to discuss the proposal in detail.  This helps us identify any potential issues early on and rectify them prior to submitting plans.  The planning decision typically takes 6-8 weeks from submitting the plans to approval being granted.

Stage3: Building Control

Having obtained planning approval, we prepare detailed drawings to submit for Building Control approval.  These ensure that designs comply with current building regulations in terms of structure, fire escapes, ventilation, sound proofing, access, stairs, etc... The building regs drawings are sufficient for a competent builder to complete the project and should be able to give you detailed quotation for the cost of works.
