How It Works

Our process explained in six easy steps

01
Your 3D Site Survey
An appointed surveyor visits for a full measured survey of your property. They will also note down all your desired requirements for the proposal.
02
Drawings Initiated
The project is allocated to one of our architectural designers who will design your project from the ground up, taking into account all your needs.
03
You Review It
Your first draft is typically ready in 7 working days, and within 10 unless agreed otherwise. Review the designs, send feedback, and we wrap up your drawing ready for submission.
04
Submission and Decision
Your plans are submitted strategically for swift approval by the council. Expect a decision in 6 to 8 weeks. We handle any required changes for free.
05
Technical Design
Once plans are approved, our engineers manage detailed design and regulatory compliance. Get construction quotes from us and compare with others.
06
Construction
If you move forward with our construction services, we arrange a detailed consultation to finalise your specific requirements, ensuring everything aligns with your vision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Working with a qualified architectural designer ensures your project meets building regulations, maximises your planning approval chances, and avoids costly mistakes during construction. For projects in London, where planning policies vary significantly by borough, professional architectural services are strongly recommended.

A typical residential project takes around 4 weeks from initial consultation to planning submission, depending on complexity. We can definitely work even faster on time-sensitive projects. Planning decisions usually take 8 weeks for householder applications. Technical drawings for building regulations take an additional 5–7 working days after planning approval.

Fees depend on the project scope. To give you some indicative figures, a simple rear extension design might cost £900 + VAT, while a full new build design could be £2,500 + VAT. We offer free initial consultations and provide fixed-fee quotes before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
