Design

Take the stress out of the planning process process by hiring a dedicated team of specialists who have a 100% approval rate for HMO planning applications. We manage the entire process and coordinate the team to ensure all applications are approved.
Chosen Building Regulations

The Build
We can be as involved as you want. We typically work closely with your chosen contractor to manage and oversee the build, taking the stress away from you, though our involvement differs for each project.
Our Unique Process
Here’s a breakdown of our process, we always follow the same format, making small adjustments each time to suit the needs of our specific clients and projects.
Existing Survey & Research
Our team of surveyors will accurately measure your property and prepare the existing drawings.
Whilst they are on site we will carrying out extensive, location specific research to ensure the proposals are fully compliant to the local design guidance.
Proposals
Once the survey is received we will begin the design process and put together some initial sketch schemes for the layout and any external alterations.
Once you are happy with the hand drawings we will move into 3D CAD and you can watch the proposals come to life.
Planning
Once the proposals are concluded and we are happy with the design we can prepare any necessary planning documents and submit them.
A typical breakdown of planning applications can be seen below:
1. Prior Approval extensions
2. C3-C4 change of use/lawful development.
3. Suis Generis change of use
Building Regulations
At this stage we will prepare the proposals for building regulation sign off. This will be a comprehensive technical package with all of the relevant details, annotations, and specification. Our experience and expertise ensures the building is compliant to the building regulations throughput the design process ensuring ti is approved at this later stage.
Construction
Once the building regulation drawings are concluded you can use these to tender from for your chosen contractors. We also have a extensive network of reliable contractors that we will recommend. We can be as involved at this stage as you would like, either fully managing the build or stepping back, you decide.
