How Design and Build

Here’s an overview of the services we provide and how they benefit you:

 

Step 1: Initial Property Visit

 

Before we provide a quote for your renovation, extension, or loft conversion, we visit your property to assess its suitability for the intended work and to explore any additional opportunities you might not have considered.

During this visit, we evaluate aspects like whether your loft is suitable for conversion or if a wall you want to remove is load-bearing. If you have a party wall, we offer guidance on the necessary notifications and permissions.

We’ll address all your questions, discuss your ideas, and provide a preliminary roadmap and estimate for your project.

Step 2: Architectural Planning and Design

For projects like house extensions or loft conversions, you’ll need detailed architectural plans. As a construction firm led by architects, we handle this process in-house, saving you the effort of finding an independent architect.

Our architects guide you through the design, planning, and oversight stages of your project. They specialize in optimizing light and space, ensuring your vision is realized from the initial drawings to the final build.

Working closely with you, our architects help shape your ideas into a coherent design while helping you avoid costly mistakes during the planning phase.

 

Step 3: Plan Review and Adjustment

 

Once your architectural drawings are complete, you’ll have the chance to review them and suggest any changes. This is the best time to make adjustments, as changes can become expensive once construction starts.

Your architect will discuss your intended use of the space and your lifestyle preferences to ensure the design aligns with your vision.

 

Step 4: Planning Permission Application

If your project requires planning permission, we manage the entire application process on your behalf, including:

  • Completing the application forms
  • Attaching necessary documents, like drawings and plans
  • Clearly outlining the project details for the planning officers

The planning department will review your application and provide a decision, typically within 8 weeks.

 

Step 5: Structural Calculations

Next, we conduct the structural calculations, supported by our dedicated in-house structural surveyor.

A structural engineer, who specializes in building structures, will perform these calculations and collaborate with our architects. Their role is to ensure that your building work complies with all safety regulations and standards.

The structural engineer will meticulously review the plans, confirm appropriate support after the removal of load-bearing walls, and recommend suitable building materials to ensure the structural integrity of your project.
