The Trusted Leaders in Architectural Design

Designing a building requires careful planning from the ground all the way to pinnacle top. There are many reasons to design a new or remodel an existing building – Primarily to add space, but also to make the building work for you, whether that be living, bathing or sleeping space or on a commercial property to upgrade efficiency. We all like to add value to the property, on a new build that often means negotiating with the planning authority to get that special look you would like, but again with extensions and refurbishments they all need to look just right whether for domestic or commercial use. Domestically, this is your home and castle - we respect that. Commercially, a new design or a redesign of existing can add value to your business by attracting new clients, increasing revenue, and also giving your employees and you a place of work in which they can take pride.

A leading Design for your home - Experience you can depend on

We are experience as Architectural Consultants and this helps with the design and building of your new extension, new house or refurbishments from the “paperwork” to the start in the ground up to the very pinnacle of the build. We design using AutoCAD so any amendment required can be easily incorporated in the design, we are happy to return to you on site with the initial design on a laptop and to go through it with you to ensure you understand it fully before applying for permissions. When we project manage as well, we help you select the best contractor to suit your criteria, through to complying with Health and Safety legislation and your obligations to that (you have initial responsibilities these days even with a small extension) and for larger projects we can hold professional development meetings on construction costs to ensure the best advice necessary for making an informed decision.

Finding the right architect

We are sure you will find us the right architectural designers for your project. If required, we research and meet with multiple professional builders and construction companies, or with a single contractor. We aim to project manage sensibly by building a professional rapport with the contractor you select with the aim of forming a team that’s aim is to produce what you want. Our design, planning and project management can be the best way forward to the implementing of your building or structure.

A leading Design for your Business – creating the right images and efficiencies

A leading architectural design for your building can add value to your business by giving your customers a bold first impression of your business. Our methods can be conformed to your business needs, both in terms of the style and image you aim to present, and also to your capital or financing budget.
We are experience as Architectural Consultants and we design using AutoCAD so any amendment required can be easily incorporated, we are happy to meet you and your staff and to spend time looking to see how your existing premises work, where you see the shortfalls and also we also like to involve the people working in the existing building if possible as sometimes their input can be invaluable on efficiencies and a little time spent with them actually builds a sense of belonging and being a part of the new scheme which often reaps benefits with the work force once the work is completed. When we project manage we help you select the best contractor to suit your criteria, through to complying with Health and Safety legislation and your obligations to that, we can hold professional development meetings on construction costs to ensure the best advice necessary for making an informed decision.

Architectural Renovations

We also have substantial experience in renovations, from single-room or office designs, to entire home or building remodelling. Older structures occasionally require some reinforcement or special construction, and these activities can incur substantial costs. For our clients, we carefully examine such situations, and then can apply a cost-effective solution, preserving the historic nature of your property while making it functional and comfortable.

Energy Efficiency

Modern architecture frequently applies principles of energy management and efficiency. As building codes focus increasingly on energy savings mainly under part L, our standards continue to keep abreast of regulations and even ahead as may be prudent.
