Services
Architectural Design
We create tailored architectural designs for residential and commercial properties, specialising in extensions, conversions, and new builds. Our process uses 3D modelling and VR technology to visualise projects before construction, ensuring alignment with client needs. By integrating BIM and PlusSpec PlusDesignBuild, we deliver precise, buildable plans while managing planning permissions and building control compliance across Surrey and the South East.
Structural Engineering
Our structural engineering services ensure technical integrity for extensions, conversions, and new builds. Using MasterSeries 3D analysis, we design solutions in timber, concrete, and steel, compliant with British Standards. We handle wind load evaluations and beam design, with in-house expertise to streamline building control approvals and prevent costly revisions.
Virtual Reality Previews
We offer immersive VR previews to explore designs before construction. This technology allows clients to walk through 3D models of their projects, refining layouts and proportions. Early alignment through VR reduces post-approval changes, enhancing communication and ensuring designs meet lifestyle requirements while saving time and costs.
Planning & Building Control
We manage planning applications and building control compliance for residential and commercial projects. Leveraging strong local authority relationships, we streamline approvals using integrated 3D models to ensure accurate coordination. Our in-house team ensures compliance with regulations, minimising delays and revisions for stress-free project execution.
Interior Design
We collaborate with established interior designers to offer bespoke styling services for residential and commercial spaces. From budget-friendly packages to fully customised solutions, our partners deliver innovative designs for private residences and hospitality projects, including work for Marriott and Gordon Ramsay Restaurants.
