Our Services
Architect’s services can vary significantly depending on the size and type of project and the specific requirements of the client.
Unlike many architecture practices, we have developed skills and experience in planning consultancy and project management which we are able to offer alongside architectural design and technical detail. This makes the process more efficient, and often more cost effective than sourcing additional professional services externally.
Under English law, anyone can perform architectural design services, but you need to be fully qualified to call yourself an ‘architect’.
Which is why you should check your architect is listed with the RIBA. If they are not, the person you are working with may not be fully qualified, regulated and insured.
We take pride in a tailored and personal approach and can provide you with the full range of architectural services required for any stage of your construction project.
We will typically advise on consultants, co-ordinate and lead your project team through our design processes to manage time and budget constraints while incorporating innovative and imaginative design solutions to bring added value to your project and maximise its potential.

Change of Use
If you intend to change the use of all or part of your property, you may need to obtain planning permission. Not all projects require planning approval as it can depend upon the type, scale and location of your project.
We are extremely familiar and experienced with the planning process and able to anticipate and advise you of the issues that the planners will consider saving you both time and money.

Permitted Development
Permitted Development rules allow some works to be carried out without making an application to the Local Authority. However, it is advisable to apply for a Lawful Development Certificate which provides formal confirmation that a project completed under Permitted Development rights is compliant and therefore legal.
With our creative and experienced team of chartered architects, we are able to offer this service alone or in conjunction with other services from any of our design offices.
