Planning & Pre-Design Service
Turning thoughts into design
Building a new home or enhancing an existing property can be an exciting yet
daunting journey, whether you’re a serial renovator or taking the leap for the first
time. The hardest step is often the first one as you ponder what will your ‘back of an
envelope’ design look like in reality, how much will it all cost, will it get planning
permission. To alleviate some of those initial anxieties and help you to make an informed
decision our pre-design service aims to determine whether the project is viable.
To start with, our team here in London will present you with some initial design ideas
and then tell you what’s involved to take it to the next stage. Here are a few of the
questions we will answer:
Design
What are the best internal layouts to suit
our space and style?
Will a professional architect be needed all
the way through the project?
What other specialties and skills will the
project require?
What would the exterior of our completed
house look like?
Plan
How do I get rough estimates for the
proposed building work?
How much would it cost to produce full
technical drawings?
How much does it cost to get planning
permissions?
How can I spread the cost over the key
building phases of the project?
Planning
How do I get planning permission and
how long does it normally take?
What are the key planning issues and legal
considerations?
Our home is in a London conservation
area – what are the implications?
