Why Homeowners Choose Our Dual-Discipline Approach

Most firms offer either surveying or design. We do both. This means our architectural designs are grounded in structural reality, and our surveys are informed by a deep understanding of how buildings are actually constructed.

Detailed Residential Building Surveys

When you are buying a home, you need more than a standard checklist. We specialise in comprehensive Residential Building Surveys (formerly known as Full Structural Surveys).

These are particularly vital for older, unusual, or non-conventional properties. Our reports are tailored to the specific building, providing an in-depth analysis of every accessible element to ensure you move forward with total confidence. All surveys are carried out by a qualified Chartered Surveyor.

Architectural Design: From Concept to Planning Approval

Thinking of a loft conversion, a bespoke extension, or a new build? We start with a free initial consultation at your property to discuss your ideas and highlight potential planning or technical hurdles.

• Bespoke Design: Using the latest AutoCAD software, we refine layouts until they perfectly suit your lifestyle.
• Planning & Pre-Apps: We handle the entire application process, including Design and Access Statements and pre-application advice for contentious projects.
• Building Regulations: We produce full construction drawings and specifications, ensuring your contractor has an approved roadmap for the build.

Expert Guidance on the Party Wall Act

If you are planning work near a boundary or have received a notice from a neighbour, we can help. We act as Building Owner’s Surveyor, Adjoining Owner’s Surveyor, or the Agreed Surveyor.

Our goal is to resolve matters professionally and efficiently. We provide initial verbal advice to get you started and can manage the entire process through to the preparation of a full Award.

Managing Your Build from Start to Finish
