Process

Consultation & Concept Design

From an initial free consultation, our service takes you through all the processes required to reach your goals. Our first meeting – ideally on site – gives all parties a chance to understand objectives and create an agreed project framework.

Detailed Design & Planning

Not only will we help you plan ahead, we’ll advise and assist with your Planning Application, or help you secure confirmation you are exercising your Permitted Development Rights.

Technical Design & Building Regs

All building work in the UK must comply with Building Regulations. We’ll make sure work is fully compliant and ready for local authority inspection.

Featured Projects

Cherry Tree - Ground Floor Extension

In a house benefitting from large gardens front and rear, a front extension providing additional kitchen, dining and living space, including opening up the main hallway.

Elgar Close - Garage Conversion

Conversion of an existing double garage & workshop to create a bedroom while keeping a smaller workshop. A new separate entrance with stable door for the workshop, all in keeping with the style of the property and neighbouring homes.

Violet Avenue - Ground Floor Extension

A house extension replacing an existing conservatory with a more substantial extension to accommodate a large kitchen/dining room. The design increased natural light, improved insulation and included a new separate ground floor toilet.
