There are three key reasons:

Transparency:

We prioritise transparency in our service. Before making a purchase, you will have a clear understanding of what you will receive, as you can view all drawings beforehand and the associated costs for them. This means you can proceed with confidence, free from concerns about unexpected invoices or delays.

Efficiency:

Our ability to deliver high-quality drawings within 24 to 72 hours sets us apart. This efficiency enables you to initiate the process of applying for planning permission or a permitted development certificate much sooner than if you were to choose anyone else. Time equates to money, and the longer a project drags on, the greater the financial impact. While you cannot control the duration of the council's decision-making process, you can control how quickly you initiate your application. With our service, you can obtain the keys to a property on a Monday and submit an application to the council by Tuesday—an unprecedented level of speed in the industry.

Cost-Effectiveness:

Our pricing structure is significantly more affordable than what you would typically pay an architect, who typically charges around 7% of your construction cost. For example, if your project budget is £70,000, an architect's fee would amount to £4,900, which is significantly more than what we charge, even for our full packages with all additional extras.

We do not provide measurement services as part of our offerings. For planning there are only a few dimensions required. For all the height needs to be stated and,

If you are having a back extension, how far from the rear external wall it extends ie. 4m.

If you are having a side extension, how wide it is from the side external wall ie. 2m.

If you are having a wrap around extension, how far from the rear external wall it extends, and how wide it is from the side external wall.

If you are having a loft extension, how wide it is ie. 3m and how close it is to the edges of the roof ie. 200mm

Dimensions of your existing property are not relevant and no dimensions are shown on the submitted drawings but those mentioned above.

Our ability to deliver on tight schedules while upholding quality standards is rooted in our extensive catalogue of pre-designed architectural drawings, specifically tailored for various Terraced and Semi Detached houses in the UK, available in an array of style options. Within this collection, you will find an extensive selection of rear, side, wrap-around, and loft extensions, with some also offering porch extension options. Leveraging the prevalence of similar or nearly identical housing designs across the UK, we can efficiently repurpose and adapt existing drawings, swiftly accommodating your specific requirements, however if you can’t find a match for your property, please reach out.

Our approach involves a meticulous examination of every detail, resulting in various styles suited to everyone's taste that are also functional, and fully compliant plans that adhere to all relevant regulations. However, given the unique regulatory nuances of different local councils, occasional minor adjustments may be necessary in the later stages of the process.

After you have received the drawings, the following steps are typically undertaken:

Planning Permission or Permitted Development Certificate:

Depending on the scope of your project, you will need to apply online for planning permission or a permitted development certificate. We offer a service to assist with these applications for a fee of £250 per application, in addition to the application fees themselves. Alternatively, you have the option to submit the applications independently. It's worth noting that in some cases, it may be advisable to submit separate applications for various aspects of the project (e.g., one for the back extension and another for the side extension). This approach can help mitigate potential delays if issues arise with one of the applications, allowing you to commence work on one aspect while awaiting approval for others. Additionally, you have a three-year window from the date of approval to commence construction. Therefore, submitting separate applications can provide flexibility if you are unable to undertake all the work at once within that timeframe.

Engaging a Builder and Structural Engineer:

Once your drawings are approved, and you have obtained the necessary permissions to proceed with your project, the next steps involve hiring a builder and a structural engineer. Please note that our involvement extends only to the planning stage, and our drawings are intended for planning purposes, not construction. A structural engineer or another architect will provide the builder with detailed construction specifications, and they will need to take their own measurements for precise calculations.

DWG Files and Revit Model:

We offer the option to purchase the DWG files and the Revit model of the project at an additional cost. These files can expedite and economize the transition to the construction phase. However, it is essential to emphasize that these files are intended for planning purposes and must be carefully reviewed for any construction-related issues."

Please note that the information provided here is a general guideline, and specific requirements may vary based on your unique project and local regulations.

Certainly, we highly recommend scheduling an online consultation before making a purchase. This consultation provides an opportunity for you to address any inquiries and share your ideas, ensuring a clear understanding of your project's objectives.
