OUR SERVICES
What we offer.
Engineering
Considering structure at early stages leads to a construction process that is faster, compliant with regulations, and highly efficient.
Planning
We combine experience and technology to deliver comprehensive plans for your project and we’ll guide you through the planning process.
Realisation
Our precise preparation means three things: inspired designs, accurate budgets and careful construction of your dream project.
THE NUMBERS
Every project’s unique.
We love the wide variety of commissions that we get to work on – houses old and houses
new, extensions, conversions and new builds. And as architectural designers in London, we
love the fact that our designs and our work make a difference, improving properties and
making lives better.
Our customer satisfaction is high and we pride ourselves on our excellent approval rating.
Whether the job is big or small our focus is always the same: quality in everything we do.

BOROUGHS
I can’t choose which development is best for me, can you help me decide?
First of all, this is a great way to start; by asking questions before deciding. Having the expertise of a professional can often help you find ‘untapped potential’ and address your issues and concerns. We are happy to have a chat and also provide a free 1-hour consultation at your property.
How long is my planning application valid for?
Validity is stated in the approval letter and it is usually three years from the date the letter has been issued. If you have not started work within that timeframe, it is likely that you will need to reapply.
How long is my building control application valid for?
Usually (as stated in the letter) all Building Control applications are valid for three years from the date deposit (Building Notice) OR Approved (Full Plans Application). If you have not started work within that timeframe, it is likely that you will need to reapply.
How long does the planning application process take?
The planning application process usually takes 6-8 weeks. Sometimes, an extension of time may be requested for the planning officer to make a decision.
How long does the building control application process take?
Construction works can begin after a building notice application has been issued. The notice will be valid for three years. Alternatively, a full plans application can be applied and will take 6-8 weeks for approval. After the application is approved, building works can begin.
I’m not sure if my property has permitted development rights/planning restrictions or if my property is within a conservation/designated area.
We suggest to check the paperwork that came with purchasing the freehold/leasehold of your property. Alternatively, if you are still in contact with your solicitor, they may be able to confirm this. Otherwise, we are happy to take the burden off your hands and find out for you.
