Why do I need an architect?
Architects are professionally trained to turn your aspirations into reality and guide you through the design, planning and construction process.

What type of surveys will you carry out?
We will need to arrange or carry out a measured survey of your building before we start work. We do this with the latest 3-D scanning technology.

What is the difference between planning permission and building regulation approvals?
Planning permission gives you consent for the scale anaesthetics of your project.
Building regulation approval is the technical aspects of your project like the structure, damp proofing and insulation.
