What our clients say
5.0 from 30 Google reviews.
He helped us design a open plan extension for our family home and allowed us to tweak and adjust plans until we were happy. He guided us through the whole process and had our best interests at heart.
He helped us plan over a very complicated mains sewer. Lee was really detailed in the final architectural plans, and always kept us up to date with the progress of the application, which passed with flying colours!
Really pleased with the work Lee and Anna did in helping me with my outbuilding project. From the initial chat about the design, through to planning submission it was a seamless, stressless and informative process.
Questions we’re asked
Fees, timings, revisions and contractors.
Why do you charge for initial meetings?
Our initial meetings are 1 hour on site property assessments. We charge a small fee which allows us to give property owners impartial advice against which they can choose how to proceed with their project. Our advice enables our clients to utilise our 20 years of experience in achieving optimum outcomes in an economical way. In most cases, offering information which saves a significant amount of money overall.
How long does the process take?
The total time between start of works and being able to give your finalised set to the builders to construct are on average 5-6 months. We aim to produce proposal drawings which are sent to our clients within 2 weeks of the initial measured survey. Planning applications can take 2-3 months for determination. Structural engineering and building control can take approx. 2 months.
Are we locked in to all the stages on the quote?
Our system of work allows clients to speed up or slow the process down depending on their requirements. Should a client wish to stop the process at any time they are only liable for the stage that's been carried out to that point.
How many revisions are included?
We produce 3 initial sketch schemes for client review. We will then work up this scheme with 3 revisions included.
Do you have contractors you can recommend for our project?
Yes, we have a great working relationship with a number of reputable construction firms. We can help introduce you to them directly and help to obtain quotes for your work.
Do you carry out on site inspections?
We can carry out on site checks where the client wishes. We charge an hourly rate for this work. However with the right contractor on board this is very rarely required.
