Whilst architects are highly skilled at making best use of space, they do not necessarily have the correct skills to understand the difficulties and opportunities of making changes. We understand the technical as well as legal challenges involved in making these changes, we also have the skills to produce the necessary drawings, renderings, and specifications as well as being able to manage the procurement of contractors and administration of the construction phase.

We have extensive experience preparing 2D drawings and 3D CAD models for planning and construction purposes. We charge a flat fee for our architectural services which is normally considerably lower than employing an architect on a percentage based sliding scale. Successfully assimilating extensions and other alterations with an historic building can be challenging. There are various schools of thought as to whether an addition should slavishly copy the style of the existing building or whether the addition should have a distinct character. We carefully consider, the development of the existing building including historical uses and associations as well as style, scale, material and colour palettes. In most cases the design will be client led but with our expertise we are able to guide our clients to ensure that any development meets the stringent design standards required when making alterations.
