Are you looking for a local architect near you, whether  in North London or the surrounding areas ? We understand that embarking on a project can feel daunting. It’s a significant investment that will shape your daily life. 

With over a decade of experience in construction,  design proposals go beyond just plans. We prioritise ensuring that your project is not only feasible but also practical, guiding you towards a successful outcome and making you feel in control.

Preparing drawings for planning typically takes 2-4 weeks, with the timeframe varying based on project size. Detail drawings for building control and construction packs also takes 2-4 weeks, depending on complexity and specifications. Once the planning application is submitted, it usually takes 8-13 weeks, again depending on project size. In case of refusal, we aim to reapply following council advice for a successful application. For most projects, with regards to Building Control, we opt for a Building Notice application, enabling construction to start after two days; with periodic inspections by the inspector ensuring compliance with building standards.

Yes, you can make changes during the design process. We understand that requirements may evolve as the project progresses and are committed to make the design align more closely with your preferences, to ensure your satisfaction aligns with the final result. Additionally, we will assess the feasibility of the design based on building standards to ensure it can be successfully executed.
Architectural fees are separate from those of any consultants. We’ll confirm these fees once each consultant understands the project brief and services needed. You’ll receive a detailed breakdown of fees to help you budget for your project more accurately.
The timeframe varies depending on the project’s complexity and whether it includes custom elements, that need extra care. Typically, for extensions and loft conversions falling within permitted development guidelines, the process can take approximately 6 to 12 weeks.
