How it works

A call to understand your project, budget and timeline. We explain what is typically possible for your type of property, which planning route is likely to apply, and what the process involves. No obligation and no charge.

We visit your property and take precise measurements of the existing building — every room, every wall, every window. We also photograph the property inside and out.

We design your new space and produce 3D views so you can see exactly how the finished extension or loft will look and feel — the proportions, the light, the flow between spaces — before a single brick is laid. We refine the design with you until it is right.

We prepare and submit your planning application, Prior Approval or Lawful Development Certificate (LDC) application. We handle all correspondence with the council and keep you informed throughout.

Prior Approval takes 42 days. LDC and planning applications typically take 8 weeks from validation. We handle all queries from the council during this period.

We produce detailed technical drawings for building control, coordinated with your structural engineer. These include all the information your builder needs to price the work accurately and build from. Building regulations drawings can run alongside the planning process to save time.
