Applications in the practice’s own name
Every application sits on a council’s public register and can be checked. The online registers reach back to 2001. The practice reaches back to 1970.
It starts with what you want.
First, what you have asked us to do. Then whether we can do it, and whether they will let us. In that order, because we work for you. If a scheme does not stack up, that gets said early and plainly.
Scheme design from feasibility to planning application: layouts, massing, design and access statements and planning drawings. They satisfy policy and deliver the yield the site needs.
Full production information, coordinated with structural, mechanical, electrical and ecological consultants. Building regulations and construction drawings that large contractors price from and build from.
On-site support from groundworks to practical completion: inspections, contractor queries answered, and making sure the scheme that gets built is the scheme that was approved.
Working with us
What you will receive.
Get to a decision sooner.
Straight to a complete, valid submission. The delays that cost a programme are the avoidable ones, not the statutory clock.
A lead architect, start to finish.
A lead architect is involved from the first conversation to the last drawing. The team that starts your scheme stays with it, so nothing is passed down a chain.
Know the site before you commit to it.
Appraised properly, in the open, by someone who knows what a council needs to see and when the right answer is to push back.
Spend once the risk is down, not before.
Costs staged behind certainty. Every commitment sits behind the decision that justifies it, so nothing is spent on a scheme that has not earned it.
Let someone else hold the list.
From first appraisal to final discharge, every survey, report and condition is tracked for you. You are not the one chasing an ecologist in week nine.
Technical drawings a contractor can work from.
Full production information, through building regulations and onto site, coordinated across structure, services and ecology.
One team, from planning to completion.
Every RIBA stage under a single appointment. The team that wins the consent stays to deliver it, so nothing is lost in a handover.
Architects since 1970, and a RIBA Chartered Practice. Architects registered with the ARB. Backed by £10m professional indemnity, with a certificate available on request. The practice is returning to its original home at Wood Farm, Everdon.
