Don't Move: Improve

Planning your ideal extension for your property need not be confusing, expensive and take forever; our flexible services allow us to build a tailored solution for each client.

We provide a tailored solution for each client and, by carrying out each step you require we can really help get the best value for you. Our unique way of working where most design and planning can be carried out remotely carries huge dividends on price, speed and of course flexibility.

Many clients know that they need extra space, and jump straight in with builders or contractors or conservatory suppliers – in fact with organisations who have a financial interest in keeping the design to suit their products and NOT deliver the client best value..

In our Concept Design phase we work with our clients to establish exactly WHAT they are looking for, produce easy to understand designs and visuals to make sure they get the very BEST use of their space.

Then, if they wish, we can take our clients wishes, and lead them through the process of Planning Permissions and Statutory consents. 

When we have consents, we can move on to the Project Management phase, where we can help bring the project to completion through selection of contractors, suppliers of elements, clients own works – in fact everything to bring the project together on site. 

Concept Design

We produce drawings and 3 dimensional models to help you understand how your space will work.

Planning Permission

We negotiate with and submit local authority planning and listed applications where applicable.

Project Management

We have a full range of Project Management assistance for construction on site, including supplier selection, tendering of works, builder selection, cost control, technical compliance etc.

If permitted development rights have been removed, or you are exceeding the allowances then you will need planning permission.

Generally planning consent for straightforward schemes can be in place 10-12 weeks from your instruction. This is very much dependent on the workload of the local authority.
