Some projects need targeted support — help with a planning application, or building regulation drawings for a specific piece of work. Others benefit from a single practice managing everything, from the first sketch on paper to the handover of your completed building. We offer both, and everything in between — structured around what your project actually needs.
What the full service covers
Our full architectural service takes your project from inception to completion, for both private clients and commercial developers. Here's what that looks like in practice:
- Initial feasibility study and sketch schemes — so you understand what's achievable before committing to a full design
- Concept and initial design proposals — turning your brief and wish list into a scheme you can respond to
- Detailed design development — refining and resolving the scheme ready for planning and technical submission
- Planning and Building Regulation applications prepared and submitted to the local authority
- Liaison with building contractors and obtaining budget build costs — so you understand the likely investment at each stage
- Preparation of construction drawings, specification and schedule of works for tender purposes
- Obtaining detailed quotes, tender analysis and advice on appointing the right contractor for your project
- Preparation and administration of the building contract on your behalf through to completion of works on site
- Certificates issued during and at Completion — including professional consultants' certificates for mortgage purposes
Architectural visualisation
We offer full architectural visualisation of your project — whether a new build or alterations to an existing building. Visualisations help you see and respond to the design before it's built, support your sales and marketing activity, and can form a powerful part of a planning application, helping the planning team understand your scheme clearly in its context.
Tailored to your project
Every appointment is structured around the specific requirements of your project and your situation. We don't apply a one-size-fits-all approach — if you need us for just part of the process, that works. If you want us involved from day one through to site completion, that works too. We'll agree a scope that reflects what you need, and what makes sense for your project commercially.
If you're unsure what level of service is right for you, just get in touch. We'll listen to what you're trying to achieve and give you honest advice on the best way to proceed.
