MVL Architects and Surveyors

Designing for Surrey and Beyond Since 1976

We are a family-run practice of Chartered Architects and Surveyors based in Godalming. For over four decades, we have been transforming ideas into acclaimed spaces across the residential, commercial, and educational sectors.

Our philosophy is simple: every commission is individual. Whether we are matching the period vernacular of a 400-year-old high street or creating a bold contemporary statement, our solutions are always unique to your specific site and requirements.

See Your Project in 3D Before It’s Built

We believe you should be able to experience your design before a single brick is laid. That is why we utilise Building Information Modelling (BIM) for every project, regardless of size.

This allows us to create a live 3D environment where you can visualise and explore your building. It ensures better accuracy, clearer communication, and a design process that is truly collaborative.

The MVL One-Day Sketch Scheme

We know that starting a project can feel daunting. To help you 'kick-start' your journey, we developed our signature Domestic Sketch Scheme Analysis.

One of our Chartered Architects will visit your home to discuss your ideas and produce detailed sketch drawings—all within a single day. It is a fast, proactive way to explore the potential of your property and make informed decisions before committing to a full build.

Our Multi-Disciplinary Expertise

Led by Chris Lelliott (RIBA) and founded by Malcolm Lelliott, our team combines architectural creativity with surveying precision. We have successfully delivered a diverse range of projects, from the Fitzpatrick Institute for the Restoration of Skeletal Tissue to school buildings at Frensham Heights.
