Navigating the complexities of planning permissions can be daunting. Our planning service ensures a smooth process by handling all aspects of regulatory compliance. We provide:
Planning Application Management:
Preparing and submitting detailed planning applications is a crucial step in any project. Our team handles all the paperwork, ensuring that every detail is meticulously documented to meet local authority requirements. We create comprehensive application packages that include architectural drawings, design and access statements, and any other necessary documentation.

Heritage
​
Respecting and preserving the character of historic properties is a cornerstone of our practice. Our heritage service is dedicated to:
Conservation and Restoration:
Historic buildings possess a unique charm and character that we are committed to preserving. Our conservation and restoration work is guided by a deep respect for the original architecture and materials. We use traditional techniques and materials to repair and restore features such as moldings, woodwork, and masonry. Our goal is to retain the integrity and authenticity of the building while enhancing its functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Sympathetic Design Integration:
Blending modern design elements with heritage features requires a sensitive and thoughtful approach. We create designs that honor the historic character of the building while introducing contemporary comforts and conveniences. Our work seamlessly integrates new and old, ensuring that modern additions enhance rather than detract from the original architecture. This approach allows us to create spaces that are both timeless and up-to-date.
Historic Research:
Understanding the history of a building is essential to informing our restoration and design strategies. We conduct thorough research into the architectural history, previous uses, and cultural significance of the property. This research informs our design decisions and ensures that our work is historically accurate and contextually appropriate. We also work closely with heritage organizations and local historians to gain deeper insights and validate our approaches.
Development Management
Our development management service ensures your project is delivered on time and within budget. We oversee every aspect of the development process, including:
Project Coordination:
Managing a construction project involves coordinating multiple stakeholders, including architects, contractors, suppliers, and regulatory bodies. Our development managers act as the central point of contact, ensuring that everyone is aligned and working towards the same goals. We create detailed project plans, establish clear lines of communication, and monitor progress to keep the project on track.
Budget Management:
Keeping a project within budget is a top priority. Our team closely monitors all expenditures, from initial estimates to final invoices. We provide detailed cost reports and financial updates, ensuring you have complete visibility into the project’s financial status. By negotiating with suppliers and contractors, we secure the best possible prices without compromising on quality. Our proactive approach to budget management helps prevent cost overruns and ensures financial efficiency.
Timeline Oversight:
Meeting project deadlines is crucial for a successful outcome. We develop and maintain detailed project schedules, identifying key milestones and critical paths. Our team closely monitors progress against the timeline, identifying any potential delays and taking corrective action as needed. We also coordinate with contractors and suppliers to ensure timely delivery of materials and completion of work. Our focus on timeline oversight helps minimize disruptions and ensures that your project is completed on time.
Surveying
​
Accurate surveying is crucial for the success of any design project. Our surveying service includes:
Building Surveys:
Conducting detailed inspections to assess the condition and dimensions of your property is the first step in any project. Our surveyors use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to gather precise measurements and data. This information forms the foundation for accurate planning and design. We identify any structural issues, potential problems, and opportunities for improvement, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the property.
Feasibility Studies:
Evaluating the potential and constraints of your project site is essential for informed decision-making. Our feasibility studies analyze factors such as zoning regulations, site access, environmental impact, and existing infrastructure. We provide detailed reports that outline the viability of different design options and highlight any potential challenges. This information helps you make informed decisions and ensures that your project is feasible and sustainable.
Technical Drawings:
Producing precise technical drawings is crucial for guiding the design and construction process. Our team creates detailed architectural plans, elevations, and sections that accurately represent the proposed design. These drawings are essential for obtaining planning permissions, guiding contractors, and ensuring that the final build matches the design vision. We use advanced CAD software to create accurate and detailed drawings that facilitate a smooth construction process.
