Residential Pre-Purchase full building surveys (for people buying a house or flat).
These types of surveys are akin to what was formerly often termed as a full structural survey.
Our survey is a very detailed survey where we look at all aspects of the property on a non destructive / intrusive visual basis and covers all main aspects i.e. signs of structural movement, cracking, damp, loft and roof structure, wood boring beetle, dry rot, wet rot etc.
Intermediate level Building Survey : We also offer an intermediate level of survey of our own design, where the same checks as we carry out for our full building survey are carried out, but with a more concise and less detailed style of reporting.

A Building Survey is the most thorough and detailed report that you can commission on the condition of a property.
When commissioning a Chartered Surveyor to carry out a survey, you should be able to feel confident that the results will be appropriate for your needs.
The objective for Building Surveys is to identify any particular problems that may exist with a property before you finalise an agreement to purchase.
Experienced Building Surveyors like ourselves, will be able to cast an expert's eye over the building with the possibility that we may pick up things that you could have missed.

If you require an Architectural Designer to design a new home, an extension, a loft conversion, barn conversion, restoration, renovation, home improvements or the design of a commercial building, we can help.
Producing plans for making a planning application.
We design and produce drawings on CAD for relatively small projects such as loft conversions or extensions, right through to complete houses or estates.
We appreciate the small jobs, just as much as the larger jobs.
After you have obtained planning approval for your project or been granted a certificate of lawfulness we can develop the drawings into a level of detail suitable for making a building regulations application.

Making an application for Planning Permission can be reasonably straight forward provided you are able to get good advice.
This is were we come in.
When contemplating a project the first step would be to determine if Planning Permission is actually necessary.
For most projects such as new build, house extensions, loft extensions etc., planning will of course be required.
Historic buildings will also have further requirements and permissions that will need to be taken into consideration.
In addition to meeting planning requirements you may also have Building Regulations requirements that you will also need to be in compliance with.
