Design Services

Initial Feasibility and Block Planning
Find out whether or not your project will work by commissioning a feasability study. We can determine ‘best fit’, taking into account staff headcounts, required adjacencies and expansion factors.
Tailored Surveys
Whether you need hard-copy drawings transferring to CAD or a full office furniture schedule creating, we can give you accurate drawings and information which you can rely on.
Space Planning
Detailed office space-planning will make efficient use of your space and increase staff productivity.
Concept Development
We can assist in developing your overall design concept, to ensure that the space works to its full potential.
Visualisation
Photo-realistic or sketch-type 3D images of any scheme can be provided, enabling clients to experience their new workplace environment pre-project.
Finishes Consultancy
We can assist in the selection of entire finish and colour schemes, or help to choose finishes to tie in with an existing specification.
Building Regulations, Drawings and applications
Building regulations applications can be fast-tracked using the LANTAC scheme. Initial feedback is received within 10 working days, ensuring that when the full-plans submissions are made there are no nasty surprises!
Outline and Detailed Planning Applications
All relevant drawings are provided along with Design Access Statements where applicable, to support your application.
Working/Technical Drawings for Contactors and Installers
We can provide drawings for services engineers, partition/ceiling fixers and furniture fitters alike. Each drawing is adequately detailed and fit for purpose, meaning fewer on site issues.
