Approach

Why choose us?

We offer a proactive, hands-on approach that ensures your project progresses smoothly from start to finish. We don’t just produce a design and drawings and leave you to navigate the complexities of construction alone. Instead, we provide expert guidance on every aspect, from planning and building regulations to legal considerations like party wall agreements. With a wide network of trusted consultants, we’ll advise on the right professionals to involve, source quotes, and help you make informed decisions.

​

We design buildings that are both beautiful and realistic within your budget. Utilising advanced 3D technology, we create detailed models and visualisations as standard, giving you a clear understanding of your project’s design and construction. Our concept design reports explore multiple ideas, presented in a visually compelling way. We’re always available to discuss your concerns, ensuring the process is as smooth, informed, and stress-free as possible.

A Neutral Advisor

We provide options for features like heating or rooflights and discuss the pros and cons of each system. We don’t promote specific technologies; instead, we work with you to evaluate the best solution, ensuring it aligns with your needs and the overall goals of your project.

Experts in Modern Methods of Construction

Focusing on designing building elements to be factory-made wherever possible. This approach offers numerous benefits, including significantly reduced time on-site, minimal disruption to your home or neighborhood, and enhanced quality through precision manufacturing. By leveraging MMC, we ensure efficient, streamlined construction processes that adhere to high standards of craftsmanship and sustainability. Whether for extensions or new builds, our designs prioritize innovation and practicality, making your project faster, smoother, and more cost-effective.
