Your Business Name
From the idea in your head to something that can be built

Extensions, conversions, new houses and commercial work. Drawings, permissions and a builder who knows exactly what to price.
What we stand by
- 1
Stage by stage
Sketches first, then drawings, then permissions. You decide at each step whether to go on.
- 2
Costed early
Rough build costs before the design is fixed, so nothing is designed that cannot be afforded.
- 3
Permissions handled
The applications prepared, submitted and followed up, and the questions answered.
- 4
Drawings builders can price
Detailed enough that quotes are comparable rather than guesses.

- 01ExtensionsMore room, more light, and a house that still makes sense afterwards.
- 02Loft and garage conversionsSpace you already own, made usable, with the head height and the structure checked first.
- 03New housesFrom a plot and an idea to something built and finished.
- 04InteriorsLayouts, kitchens, joinery and lighting, drawn so that the trades can work from them.
- 05Planning applicationsPrepared, submitted and argued for, including where an earlier one was refused.
- 06Technical drawingsThe structure, the details and the specification that construction actually needs.
- 07Site supervisionVisits while it is built, so what is on site matches what was approved.
- 08Older buildingsChanges made carefully, with what the building will and will not accept.
- 09Commercial and shop fit-outOffices, shops and units designed around how they will be used.
- 10Regularising existing workWhere something was built without papers and now needs them.
- 11FeasibilityBefore you buy: what could be done here, what it would need and roughly what it would cost.

The practiceGood design is mostly about how you live
The best change to a house is rarely the biggest. Where the light comes from, where you drop your keys, whether the kitchen can hold everybody at once — these decide whether a place works, and they cost nothing extra to get right at drawing stage.
So the first meeting is mostly questions about your days rather than talk about styles.
Questions people ask
What does it cost to use an architect?
Told at the start, usually stage by stage, so you can stop after any of them.
Do I need permission?
Not always — some work does not. We will tell you at the first meeting rather than after you have paid for drawings.
How long does permission take?
There is a statutory period, and then real life. We will give you a realistic timescale for your area.
What do I need before you can start?
Ownership papers, a site survey and whatever exists of the original drawings. We will tell you which of those are missing and how to get them.
Can you recommend a builder?
We can tell you what to look for, how to compare quotes, and what should be in the contract.
What if my budget is not enough?
Better to know at sketch stage. We cost things early precisely so that conversation happens before the design is fixed.

Thinking about an extension?
One conversation will tell you whether it is possible, roughly what it costs and what happens first.
