Early stage

Feasibility studies

Before you buy or commit: what can be built, what the planning risks are, and the likely route to approval.

Certificates

Permitted development

We check whether you need planning at all, and prepare Lawful Development Certificate applications where you don't.

Delivery

Fit-out project management

Shopfitting and interior fit-out coordination for commercial clients in the UK, Europe and the USA.

How a project runs

Most householder applications are decided within the council's 8-week target.

  1. Free consultation

    A call or site visit to understand your brief, budget and timescale.

  2. Measured survey

    We survey the existing building and draw accurate existing plans and elevations.

  3. Concept design

    Design options reviewed with you, tested against local planning policy.

  4. Planning drawings

    Proposed plans, elevations, location and block plans, and supporting statements.

  5. Submission

    We submit to the council, track progress and answer the planning officer's questions.

  6. Decision & next steps

    On approval, we can prepare building regulations drawings and help find contractors.
