We offer a full architectural service across all RIBA stages — but we tailor our involvement to suit each client. Whether you need early-stage advice, support through planning, or a detailed technical package ready for construction, we shape our role around the project.

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

Planning & Permitted Development
Preparation of drawings, reports, and forms — with full management of the application and liaison with the local authority.

Building Regulations Drawings
Technical drawings and specifications for compliant construction, including coordination with consultants where needed.

Pricing & Contractor Liaison
Support with tendering, reviewing quotes, and selecting a builder — ensuring the scope is clear and pricing aligns with your expectations.

Construction & On-Site Support
Clear, buildable information with optional support during the build to answer questions and maintain the integrity of the design.

We work on everything from compact extensions and barn conversions to glamping schemes and new-build homes. All projects are treated with the same care and attention to detail.

Interesting project? — Get in touch

Every project starts with a conversation. We take time to understand what you need, what matters to you, and how the project fits into your life or business. No two clients are the same — and we like it that way.

Once we’ve understood your brief, we guide you through a clear, step-by-step process. Our role adapts to your needs, but the journey often follows these stages:

1. Initial Consultation
A free, no-obligation chat (phone, video or in person) to understand the project and how we can help.

2. Measured Survey & Research
We gather everything needed — measurements, photos, planning history, and site context.

3. Design Development
Early sketches evolve into a fully considered proposal, tested against your brief, budget and planning policy.

4. Planning & Approvals
We prepare and submit the application, acting as your agent and liaising with the local authority.

5. Technical Design
Detailed drawings and specifications are 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?
It depends on the size and scope of the project. We’ll always provide a clear fee proposal before any work starts, with no hidden costs. We’re open and fair — and we believe great design should be good value.

Do I need planning permission?
Some projects need planning, others fall under permitted development. We’ll help you figure this out early on and advise on the best route.

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

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

What happens after planning is approved?
We can continue with the technical design, prepare drawings for building regulations, and help you move the project forward with the right team.
