What Bristol Homeowners Say About Our Architectural Services Specialists
Got planning drawings done for a rear extension in Bristol. Clear concept, accurate measured survey and the planning drawings submitted for us. £1,805 and the householder application was approved without fuss. Great value versus a full architect for a straightforward job.
Complete drawing set for our two-storey extension in Bristol. Planning and building-regs drawings done together, structural calcs coordinated with the engineer. £3,505 all in and the builder priced straight off the package. Saved a lot of back-and-forth on site.
Concept-to-completion design service for our Bristol home. Full service from first sketch through planning and building regs to site visits. £7,005 (around 11% of the build). The design got far more out of the space than we'd imagined and they handled every approval.
