We offer a full architectural service across all RIBA stages, with involvement tailored to suit each project. Whether you need early-stage advice, support through planning or a detailed technical package ready for construction, our role is shaped around your requirements and the scale of the work.

Feasibility & Concept Design
Site visits, surveys and early design sketches to explore ideas, test options and establish what’s achievable before committing to full design development.

Planning & Permitted Development
Preparation of drawings, reports and application documents, with full management of the planning process and liaison with the local authority where required.

Building Regulations Drawings
Detailed technical drawings and specifications produced for Building Regulations approval, including coordination with structural engineers and other consultants as needed.

Pricing & Contractor Liaison
Support with tendering, reviewing quotations and selecting a suitable contractor — helping ensure scope, quality and pricing are clear from the outset.

Construction & On-Site Support
Clear, buildable information with optional support during construction to respond to queries and help maintain the integrity of the design as the project progresses.

We work on a wide range of projects — from compact extensions and refurbishments to barn conversions, glamping schemes and new-build homes. Every project is approached with the same care, attention to detail and respect for its context.

Interesting project? — Get in touch

Every project begins with a conversation. We take the time to understand what you need, what matters to you and how the project fits into your home or business. No two clients are the same — and the process reflects that.

Once the brief is clear, we guide you through a structured, step-by-step approach. While each project is tailored, the journey typically follows these stages:

1. Initial Consultation
A free, no-obligation discussion (by phone, video call or in person) to talk through your ideas and how we can help.

2. Measured Survey & Research
Site measurements, photographs, planning history and contextual research to inform the design.

3. Design Development
Early concepts developed into a considered proposal, tested against your brief, budget and planning policy.

4. Planning & Approvals
Preparation and submission of planning applications, acting as your agent and liaising with the local authority.

5. Technical Design
Detailed drawings and specifications produced for Building Regulations and construction.

6. Tender & Delivery
We can help you gather builder quotes, appoint a contractor, and support you through the build if needed.

“Robert guided us expertly through the planning process, delivering prompt and thorough support. His designs and three-dimensional imagery brought our vision to life. We couldn’t recommend him more highly and have already referred him to friends and family. A fantastic experience—we’d absolutely work with him again.”

– Mark Irvine & Erin Harris, Landowners

"We have been thoroughly impressed by Robert's expertise and dedication throughout the project so far. He quickly understood our vision, navigated challenges with creative solutions, and kept us well-informed during an uncertain and finely balanced planning process. His clear communication and commitment have made the experience seamless and enjoyable."

– Richard Smith & Ffion Montgomery, Applicants

"From the very beginning, Robert listened carefully to our needs and guided us through the process with exceptional expertise. He suggested adding a balcony, something we hadn’t considered but has quickly become one of our favourite features. It’s our go-to spot to enjoy the views in the evening. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again."

– William & Lowri Jones, Homeowners

How much does it cost to work with you?
Fees depend on the size and scope of the project. We always provide a clear fee proposal before any work begins, with no hidden costs.

Do I need planning permission?
Some projects require planning permission, while others fall under permitted development. We’ll advise on the best route early on.

What areas do you cover?
We’re based in North Wales and regularly work across the North West and beyond. If the project feels like a good fit, we’re happy to travel.

Do you work on small projects?
Yes — we specialise in them. Whether it’s a reconfiguration, extension or new build, every project receives the same care and attention.

What happens after planning is approved?
We can continue with technical design, Building Regulations drawings and support the project through the next stages as required.
