We understand your project goals
At the start of the project, we will carefully review your brief and take note any ideas you may have regarding the appearance of your house extension. While we will take your ideas into account, we will also consider factors such as costs, planning restrictions, and feasibility of construction. It is important to ensure that the design can actually be built.
Quality designs for all purposes
We believe that everyone deserves access to great design, not just a select architects. Our goal is to create exceptional architectural environments for all, at a more affordable cost than traditional architect fees.
High planning success rate
Our policy is to avoid taking on projects that are unlikely to be approved by the principle of development. Throughout the design process, we utilize our expertise and review planning policies to increase the likelihood of success for your application. With our experience working with various authorities, we have a comprehensive understanding of how planning applications are evaluated and decided.

Each home extension project is distinct, and it's crucial to consider its feasibility from the beginning. If we offer technical drawings, we'll analyze all aspects of your project to minimize on-site risks. This approach should result in reduced costs and fewer delays.
