How our architect services work
It all starts with initial concept drawings to ensure we design and build with your lifestyle in mind. Whether you want additional bedrooms, a single storey extension, a flat conversion, or loft conversion, no job is too big for our South East based construction and architecture firm.
The next step of our design process includes 3D modelling and rendering that provides a virtual walkthrough of your property.
This allows you to explore your project from every angle. From scaled floor plans and elevations for planning applications to building regulations drawings and detailed finishes, every element is designed with precision, ensuring your home is both beautiful and structurally sound.
Planning Application
One of the most important parts of our architectural design services is securing planning permission for your building project, such as a home extension and heritage renovation. As trusted local experts, our ARB and RIBA registered architects have a wealth of knowledge of South East councils’ planning restrictions and rules, including specific requirements for listed building consent when working with protected or heritage properties. We liaise directly with planning officers to ensure your application meets all criteria, submitting it without any hassles.
Through our professional building standards, contract administration and over a decade of experience, we ensure your application is submitted without any hassles.
This is an 8-week process regardless of whether you go through full planning or permitted development rights. During this time, our team will handle all queries and requests from the council regarding your application, keeping you informed at every stage.
THE IMPORTANT STEPS
Planning Drawings
Planning drawings are designed to obtain planning permission from your local authority. These floor plans are drawn to scale and show the house layout from a bird’s eye view.
A big advantage of this technique is that it highlights how people will move through space, whereas 2D drawings only show one aspect of the building.
Building Reg Drawings
Building regulations drawings ensure compliance with legal standards of the building industry for safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency. They cover worker safety, disabled access, drainage routes, and eco-friendly materials.
These technical drawings are submitted to the local authority to secure building regulations approval before construction work begins.
Building regulations drawings provide details on how the building is constructed and which materials are used. Essentially, these architectural drawings give our team of builders, contractors, designers, and surveyors detailed technical specifications on what materials to use during the construction phase.
STRUCTURAL Drawings
We collaborate with leading structural engineers who use our architectural drawings and 2D plans to produce precise structural calculations. Working with LABC qualified professionals and backed by Professional Indemnity Insurance, we guarantee compliance with building codes and safety standards
A big advantage of this technique is that it highlights how people will move through space, whereas 2D drawings only show one aspect of the building.
