Structural Designs and Calculations

We do the math behind your building's ability to stay upright. The engineers use them to determine the loads that a building must withstand and the properties of members that comprise its structure

Building Regulation Drawings

Our services also include Building Regulation Drawings, which are a set of detailed drawings and construction details that are submitted to the local building control department and go into much more detail than the planning application drawings.

Project Management

We oversee all phases of the initial design process all the way to the construction process, making sure the project is completed on time and within scope and budget. This role works closely with architects and engineers to develop plans, establish timelines and calculate labor and material costs.

Building Control Services

According to the Construction Health and Safety to protect people's health and safety in the built environment. This involves, among other things, enforcing the following legislation: The Building Act 1984. The Building Regulations and other allied legislation.

Permitted Development Rights

We apply for Permitted development rights, which are a national grant of planning permission which allow certain building works and changes of use to be carried out without having to make a planning application. In this case there is no waiting time of eight weeks.

Feasibility Study

We also specialise in carrying out an assessment of whether the project will be feasible. The purpose of feasibility studies is to establish whether the project is financially or practically viable.

Planning Appeal

In case of a Planning Permission having been rejected b y the authorities, where there is a dispute between the applicant and the planning authority whether sufficient information has been supplied to register and determine a planning application.

Planning Application

We apply for Planning permission or developmental approval which refers to the approval needed for construction or expansion, and sometimes for demolition, in some jurisdictions. It is usually given in the form of a building permit. Waiting times for the application are around eight weeks.

Party Wall

We can help design a Party Wall along a property line dividing two terraced houses, so that one half of the wall's thickness lies on each side. This type of wall is usually structural. Party walls can also be formed by two abutting walls built at different times. Planning permission is not required to serve a party wall notice and, because you will have up to a year to start work once the notice has been served, it is a good idea to do this as soon as possible in order to avoid delays.
