Architectural Services

Are you planning an extension or perhaps some other alteration to your home? If the answer is yes, then the chances are you already have a very good idea of what you want.

What you now need is an design and planning service that delivers what you want and can afford.

By specialising in only the domestic side of architecture; extensions, conservatories, out-buildings and the like, we understand that our role is to give you the design that you like and a builder will be able to understand and build within your budget.

What is Planning?

Put simply planning permission is granted by your local authority to develop and extend your home,. However, it can be a maze full of pit-falls and has been likened to a game in which a house-holder can be left baffled and confused. By understanding this, we can work on your behalf with the local authority planners to ensure that during the planning application procedure both the legal requirements and your dreams are fulfilled.

What are Building Regulations?

Sometimes confused with planning applications, building regulations (also known as building control) are the details of how the structure will be built. They tell the builder and the buildings inspector what materials will be used, the method of construction and more.

Party Wall etc. Act 1996

Some alterations, such as extensions and loft conversions fall with The Act - see our PARTY WALL page for more details.
