Introduction meeting
Free
We meet over a video chat
We begin with a 30-minute introductory call to understand your project and get to know each other. This session helps us grasp your vision and preferences, laying the foundation for the design process.

Survey and design meeting
2 weeks
We survey, create existing drawings and then chat designs over a video call
Once we’ve discussed your project and you decide we’re a good fit, we’ll conduct a survey of the site. This ensures we have accurate data to guide us into the design phase.
With the survey complete, we’ll arrange a video call to collaboratively sketch out ideas. This process keeps you fully involved in shaping a space that aligns with your goals. After the call, you’ll have time to decide whether to move forward with the design and planning phase.
Once the technical design is finalised, we’ll prepare and submit all required documents for building control approval. This step ensures your project adheres to all safety and building regulations. We’ll liaise with the building control authority or approved inspector, guiding you through the process and keeping you updated at every stage.

Design and planning
2 weeks
We make the design for planning
We offer three design packages to match your needs and budget. Once you’ve selected a package, we’ll start working on your project. In just two weeks, we’ll present the designs over a video call, giving you the opportunity to review and discuss any amendments you'd like.
Submit for planning
Once the design is finalised, we’ll handle all the necessary paperwork and submit your application to the local planning authority on your behalf. Throughout the process, we’ll keep you informed of progress and any updates from the authorities. This ensures a seamless transition from design to approval, giving you peace of mind while we manage the details

Technical design
2 - 4 weeks
We make the design with all technical detail information ready for pricing to builders
After planning approval, we transition to the technical design phase. This stage involves producing detailed drawings and specifications to ensure the project is functional, buildable, and fully compliant with regulations. We offer a range of technical design packages tailored to suit different budgets and project requirements, providing flexibility without compromising on quality.
To keep you involved, we’ll schedule video meetings throughout the process to present progress, discuss details, and make any necessary amendments, ensuring the design meets your expectations.
Submit for building control approval
Once the technical design is finalised, we’ll prepare and submit all required documents for building control approval. This step ensures your project adheres to all safety and building regulations. We’ll liaise with the building control authority or approved inspector, guiding you through the process and keeping you updated at every stage.
