With over 35 years of experience, we bridge the gap between creative architectural design and technical surveying. Led by Frank Gratton (MRICS, FCABE), we use 3D BIM technology to bring your project to life while ensuring full regulatory compliance and sustainability.
Bringing Your Vision to Life with 3D Precision
At Ashtton Associates Ltd, we believe that a successful project starts with a clear, informed vision. Since 2005, we have been helping homeowners and developers navigate the complexities of the built environment. Led by Frank Gratton, a dual-qualified Chartered Building Surveyor (MRICS) and Chartered Building Engineer (FCABE), we offer a unique blend of creative architectural design and rigorous technical expertise.
What sets us apart is our use of the latest 3D BIM (Building Information Modelling) software. We don't just show you flat drawings; we provide immersive 3D models that allow you to walk through your finished project before a single brick is laid. This "real-time" approach ensures that planning applications are informed and our clients are confident in the final result.
Specialists in Heritage and Sensitive Restorations
Working with older buildings requires a delicate touch and a deep understanding of traditional construction. Our portfolio is rich with the renovation and restoration of:
- Listed Buildings: Navigating the specific constraints of protected structures.
- Conservation Areas: Ensuring new designs complement historic surroundings.
- Barn Conversions: Transforming agricultural heritage into modern, functional living spaces.
Notable projects like The Old Barn, The Hunting Lodge, and Miners Cottage demonstrate our ability to marry historic character with contemporary functionality and sustainability.
Expert Guidance Through the Regulatory Maze
The path from concept to completion is filled with legislative hurdles. As a Registered Building Inspector (BSR), Frank Gratton provides an insider’s perspective on Building Regulations. We don't just design; we ensure your project is safe, compliant, and efficient.
