Architectural & Design Services
3D Modeling & Visualization
Leveraging software like Archicad, Revit, Navisworks, and Twinmotion, we create stunning, photorealistic 3D models and renderings. Visualise your project through detailed 2D/3D models, floorplans, and full-colour renders, bringing your architectural vision to life before construction.
Deliverables: Model Packs, Rendering Packs.
LiDAR Scanning & Surveys
Our precision LiDAR scanning captures millions of data points to create highly accurate as-built models, digital twins, and detailed measured surveys, essential for renovation projects and existing condition analysis.
Deliverables: As-Builts, Digital Twins, Measured Surveys.
Planning & Consultation
From initial concept to final approval, we guide you through the design development according to RIBA stages. We provide comprehensive consultations (interior, exterior, landscape) and manage full planning and building regulation submissions.
Deliverables: Planning Packs, Building Regs Packs, Drawing Packs, Design Consultations.
Understanding Project Approvals
Navigating the different types of building approvals can be complex. Here’s a simple breakdown of the most common requirements.
Permitted Development
These are rights, granted by Parliament, that allow you to perform certain minor projects (like small extensions, loft conversions, or garden outbuildings) *without* needing to apply for full planning permission.
Key Point: This is not a free pass. Your project must still strictly adhere to all the rules of PD. We recommend applying for a "Lawful Development Certificate" (LDC).
Planning Permission
This is the formal process of asking your local council for permission to carry out a larger development. This applies to new builds, significant extensions, or changes to a building's use.
Key Point: The council assesses impact on the local area—from appearance to neighbours' privacy.
Building Regulations
These are technical standards for *design and construction* ensuring safety, structural integrity, and energy efficiency.
Key Point: Almost every project, including PD, *must* comply with Building Regulations.
Which Do You Need?
The most important takeaway is that **Planning** and **Building Regulations** are two separate things.
- A project under Permitted Development will not need Planning Permission, but it will still need Building Regulations.
- A larger project will likely need both.
As part of our service, we'll assess your project and advise on the exact route you need to take.
