Our customers provide us with the necessary measurements and photos which allows our design team to get to work right away. By cutting out the initial site visit and unnecessary meetings we can have your design finalised and planning permission in place with very little delay.
Initial stage
Once we have everything we need regarding your property, we will let you know we have started work.
The drawing stage
We pride ourselves on our customer service and efficiency. We will have your first draft plans ready for your consideration within the timescale you have selected and not a day later.
The refining stage
The designer working on your plans will work with you until your we have achieved your ideal design.
The submission stage
The plans will now be submitted to the council along with any accompanying documentation. This process can be done in as little as 24 hours!
Decision time
The application can take between 8- 10 weeks for the council to determine. We will act as your agent throughout the planning process and contact the council to ensure approval is received as swiftly as possible.
Planning Drawings
Our drawings are completed to the same standard as your local architect. Our Drawings are completed by our ARB registered architects, are scaled, easy to read and created in line with the council’s design requirements.
Building Regulation Drawings
These drawings are submitted to building control and given to your building contractors to work from during construction. They include the construction details and specifications to be abided by on site to make sure construction work is completed to the necessary standard.
Next day turnaround
This is what sets us aside from our competition. In many cases months will pass by before you receive your first draft plans from an architect and requesting amendments to the plans can be a lengthy process. We ensure we deliver your plans within your specified timescale and not a day later.
Fixed Price
Many architects work on an hourly rate which can lead to an unexpectedly high final invoice. We maintain a fixed price which you will be quoted for before we are appointed so you can rest assure that you will not be encountering any unexpected costs.
Copyrights
Some Architects tie the drawings they've handed over to you in copyrights so as to ensure they still have ownership over them, causing potential future legal disputes. At Extension Plans UK when we hand over your drawings we hand over ownership with them.
Application submissions
In many cases, the service you pay an architect for is the design only, leaving the customer to organise the necessary applications. We submit all planning and building control applications so you don’t have to worry about it.
Our drawings are the first step in bringing your project to life, and it's all done in a matter of days!
