Every successful project begins with a clear understanding of what is possible. Our feasibility and concept design service helps you explore the potential of your home or site.

We assess planning constraints, budget considerations and site conditions to give you an honest appraisal of what can realistically be achieved. Through sketches, 3D visualisations and layout options, we test different design approaches: from extending and reconfiguring existing spaces to exploring the potential for extensions, loft conversions, garden rooms or even new-build opportunities.

This stage is collaborative and creative, giving you the opportunity to shape the direction of the project. By the end, you will have a well-defined concept design that reflects your aspirations, works with your budget, and forms a strong foundation for any planning applications and detailed design proposals

With a clear concept in place, we take your project forward into the planning stage. We prepare and manage the planning application on your behalf, coordinating all necessary information to give the proposal the best chance of approval.

At the same time, we begin developing the design in more detail — refining layouts, exploring interior design ideas, considering materials and finishes, and looking at how the home connects with the garden or wider landscape. We also review budgets and construction options to keep the project realistic and achievable.

This stage ensures the design is coordinated, inspiring and practical, giving you confidence before moving into the detailed design and construction phases. We liaise directly with Local Planning Authorities through the determination process to give you the best possible chance of success.

Working with historic buildings and sensitive sites requires care, expertise and a deep understanding of heritage legislation. We have extensive experience securing consents for listed buildings, scheduled ancient monuments and properties within conservation areas, helping our clients achieve their goals while protecting the character and significance of these sites.

Our approach balances creativity with sensitivity : designing alterations and extensions that respect historic fabric while enhancing the way homes are used today. We prepare and manage all necessary heritage and planning applications, working closely with conservation officers, heritage consultants and local authorities.

Whether you are restoring a listed cottage, extending a Victorian or Georgian townhouse or adapting a property in a conservation area, we provide clear guidance and thoughtful design to unlock potential while preserving heritage value.

With planning approvals and other consents in place, we develop the design into detailed information suitable for building regulations approval, pricing and construction. At this stage, we refine layouts, materials and specifications to ensure the design can be delivered to a high standard.

We prepare the drawings and documents required for Building Regulations and coordinate with consultants such as structural and services engineers. We can also manage the tender process, inviting trusted contractors to price the works and advising on suitable appointments.

This stage provides you with clear, coordinated information, cost certainty and the confidence that your project is ready to move smoothly into construction.

Once construction begins, we stay closely involved to help ensure your project is delivered as designed. Acting as contract administrator, we oversee progress on site, monitor quality, and manage costs and timelines on your behalf.

We coordinate between the builder, consultants and suppliers, dealing with technical queries and resolving issues as they arise. Regular site visits, progress reports and clear communication keep you informed and give you peace of mind throughout the build.

Our role is to protect your interests, maintain design quality and ensure that the finished home meets the highest standards.
