Planning & Building Control
The Design Process
The design process is a personal experience, and forming a solid, transparent working relationship from the outset is essential to a smooth project. Below is our typical step-by-step workflow:
-
Initial Consultation: A free initial meeting (in-person or remote) to discuss your project vision, requirements, budget, and site constraints.
-
Fee Proposal & Project Timeline: Clear, transparent fee agreements covering scope, deliverables, and estimated completion dates so there are no surprises.
-
Acceptance of Design Brief: We refine and lock in your project goals and preferred design direction before drawing begins.
-
Measured Building Survey: Accurate, precision on-site measurements to establish exact existing plans and elevations as the foundation for your project.
-
Draft Design Drawings: Initial layout proposals and space planning options prepared for your review and feedback.
-
Final Design Refinement: Finalised architectural layouts, elevations, and details refined and ready for planning prep or initial builder estimates.
-
Planning-Ready Drawing Package: A complete, council-compliant technical drawing pack prepared and formatted for direct submission as part of a planning application.
-
Building Control & Technical Specification Package: Detailed structural sections, construction notes, insulation details, and drainage layouts drafted to ensure full compliance with UK Building Regulations.
-
Builder Quotation Pack: Complete technical drawing sets issued to your chosen contractors for accurate, itemised pricing.
-
Builder & Consultant Recommendations: Guidance on trusted local contractors, as well as coordinating external specialists when needed (such as Structural Engineers, SAP Assessors, or Drainage Consultants).
-
Site Visits & Ongoing Support: Optional site inspections during the design or construction phases to check progress and answer technical contractor queries.
