New build and self-build houses can really change your life, and with the right designers by your side, they could be the best financial decision you could ever make. We are experts in architectural design and can help make your new builds or self build home the perfect fit for your needs and help create home from the start.
If you are looking to build your own home or an experienced developer looking for investment or building your dream, we are the people that can help. Our philosophy on design resonates throughout all our services, you must make the right decisions and we provide all the necessary information to help you do what is right for you.
Our design team will explore all the site issues and likely opinions of the planning officers before you get into expensive application and design processes. Each new build needs to be assessed against your requirements.
FEASIBILITY STUDIES
For a relatively modest fee, we will look at the site history, assess the infrastructure, services etc and informally engage with the relevant local authority planning department. From there we can work with you on a concept design that meets your requirements. It all works to give you the best possible chance of success with your project meeting your needs.
PRE-APPLICATION ENQUIRY
Once we have worked through a concept with you on your new or self build design, we can submit the outline design and basic planning statements to the planning office. Again, for a relatively small fee we can ascertain the opinion of the local Birmingham authority directly against what you want to achieve. This will produce a long list of planning polices and comment direct from the planner that will be dealing with and future application. We can also arrange a meeting with the relevant officer to discuss the plan and any other ideas that the site could be developed for.
Whether it is a major development site or one-off self build, we can produce and collate all the necessary drawings, reports and investigations to give your new build design application the best chance of success. We will be in constant communication with you and the planning officer, making changes where necessary to push it through.
Throughout the initial concept design stages, we will make sure the developed and approved design can be correctly detailed for the building regulations. Our drawings will ensure any future developer can gain accurate tenders or have a well detailed and good specification with a working set of building plans. From there we can offer a full range of project management services dependent on the level of involvement you want.
