Our 10-step design guide for Homeowners

Our design guide takes you through the architectural design process from start to finish.  It sets out all the stages from initial design through to completion and shows you how we can help at each step of the way.

The first step is to contact us using our online enquiry form where you can create a design brief online.

We then look at local policies and planning history and meet with you to explain any constraints you may need to be aware of.

After that, we provide a written fee proposal and help you budget for other costs. So that you can see how the project will look on completion, we produce three concept designs for you to choose from. These include floor plans, sketches, and can also include 3D images with our premium service.

You may require a planning application, to confirm that designs comply with all local planning regulation. We can complete this for you.
