How a Typical Process Works:

Very simple, once we receive your signed instruction to act as your agent on your project, we will manage until you have planning and building control permission.

Step 1:

A surveyor will visit you at the property to which the project relates. They will discuss with you your plans for the project, any ideas that you have, and answer any questions you may have, so that you fully understand the process. They will also have a comprehensive price breakdown showing the exact steps that your project will undertake, and where the costs lie. Once the price has been agreed with yourselves, they will carry out a comprehensive survey of your property, which includes the taking of measurements externally and internally, and the taking of photographs as required.

Step 2:

The survey will be handed to an architectural designer who will coordinate your draft drawings to your specification, and for you to review. This stage will contain all existing plans and elevations required, your proposed plans and elevations, and any sections required to help explain. You will also see your photo representation or 3D model if you requested these at your initial meeting. With these drawings you can make changes until you are completely satisfied with the final output.

Step 3:

Once you have finalised the drawings, we will produce the final drawings to be submitted to your local authority. We will then complete all the paperwork on your behalf, and supply all the information to your local authority. We will keep you informed of progress your project has made with your local authority, and we will advise and work with you in the case of planning permission being refused.

Step 4:

Once planning permission has been granted, we will produce the drawings required for building control, undertaking all building regulations and engineer calculations if requested. We will undertake party wall agreements with your neighbours, Soil tests or Saps tests; if you requested these. Will be consult with the council through the approval process.

Step 5:

Once building control has approved your drawings you will have a copy of these approved drawings for your records, we will also supply copies for your builders. We also invite your builder to take part in a pre start meeting to hand over the project from us the architectural team, to you the client and the selected builder.

This is the end of a typical project, but we don offer on site, project development support (PDS) at an extra charge. This best discussed closer to the time and is calculated on a prorata basis.
