Fees & Initial Consultation
An initial discussion is usually arranged by phone or site visit to understand your project in more detail. This allows us to review the property, discuss your requirements and provide early advice on the design process, planning considerations and potential costs involved.
Where a site visit is not possible, an initial consultation can be carried out by phone to establish the project brief and next steps.

Architectural Services Across West London
House Extensions
House extensions remain one of the most effective ways to improve living space and add value to a property. We design rear extensions, side extensions, wrap-around extensions and double-storey extensions tailored to the character of the property and the needs of the client.
Our role includes developing the initial design, advising on planning requirements, preparing planning applications where necessary and producing detailed construction drawings for building regulations approval.
Loft Conversions
Loft conversions can provide valuable additional accommodation without extending the footprint of a property. We work with homeowners to create practical and well-designed loft spaces, including additional bedrooms, home offices and family living areas.
Our services include feasibility assessments, design development, planning advice and preparation of technical drawings required for construction.
Planning Applications
We manage planning applications from initial assessment through to submission and determination. Our experience includes residential, commercial and mixed-use projects throughout West London and Buckinghamshire.
We prepare planning drawings, design statements and supporting documentation while liaising with local planning authorities to help achieve successful outcomes.
Building Regulations Drawings
Following planning approval, we prepare detailed building regulations drawings and technical information required for construction.
These drawings provide the information necessary for compliance with current building regulations and are coordinated with structural engineers and other consultants where required.
Construction Support
We can continue supporting projects during the construction phase, helping to coordinate information, respond to contractor queries and review progress on site.
Our involvement helps ensure that the approved design is delivered accurately and that technical issues are addressed efficiently throughout the build process.
Commercial Architecture
We provide architectural services for a wide range of commercial projects, including offices, restaurants, retail premises, hospitality venues and commercial-to-residential conversions. Our approach balances operational requirements, planning considerations and design quality to create practical and effective environments for businesses, property owners and developers.
From initial feasibility studies and planning applications through to technical design and construction support, we help clients maximise the value, functionality and long-term performance of their properties.
Industrial Architecture
Our experience includes warehouse developments, industrial extensions, alterations to existing industrial buildings and operational facilities. We understand the importance of designing buildings that support efficient workflows, operational requirements and future business growth while meeting planning and regulatory standards.
We provide design, planning and technical services for industrial projects, helping clients develop practical, cost-effective solutions that respond to both site constraints and commercial objectives.
Educational Buildings
We have experience working on schools and nursery projects, developing designs that respond to operational requirements, safeguarding considerations and regulatory standards while creating practical and effective learning environments.
Hotel and Hospitality Projects
Our experience also includes hospitality projects, where careful planning, technical coordination and attention to operational requirements are essential to creating successful environments for guests and operators.
