Architectural Drawings
What you need
Whatever your requirement for detailed architectural plans, we can assist you in your design project by working with you to create the drawings you need.
Three important steps
This is with a view to saving you, the client, money and time and make any Planning Application run as smoothly and cost effectively as possible.
Stage 1
Evaluate your request
After an initial free meeting at your property and an informal chat, Nick can provide a provisional sketch drawing to outline your wishes and make sure everyone one is clear about possible constraints, design issues and potential planning or historical monument issues. He may also suggest further ideas about creating more usable space and adding value to your property. The cost of the initial sketch drawing depends on the size of the project. Should you wish to go ahead and commission a full set of architectural drawings from Nick this sum will be deducted from the total cost. It is at this stage that a full measured survey (measuring accurately the building) would be undertaken.
Stage 2
Design and Planning
This is the exciting stage in the design / planning process as now the plans will take shape. Architectural drawings will be drawn to set out the design and layout of the proposed project. You will be able to see and comment on the first draft and working with Nick, you will jointly be able to view and comment on the plans and make changes as required or desired. A revised set of architectural plans will be provided to you for approval and a chance to make any final changes before submitting the application or consent. Preparing the planning application process usually takes three to four weeks. During this stage it may be necessary for Nick to use the services of a third party (structural engineer and/or a surveyor, Water Authority etc). These costs are not included in the fees. Once you have approved the design the plans can be submitted for consideration on your behalf with the relevant authorities.
