Bespoke, Budget-Focused Design: Why We Stand Out
​
Designing your dream home extension or property alteration should be an exciting process, not a frustrating compromise. Many homeowners in Crawley struggle with designs that fail to meet their family’s lifestyle or exceed their intended budget.
We personally get to know every client, which allows us to create individual designs tailored to their specific needs that deliver the desired product which is within their budget
Our Step-by-Step Design Process
​
The design phase moves from initial contact and scoping through to the creation of detailed, buildable drawings.
​
-
Free Initial Consultation: A team member meets the client to discuss specific requirements, establish the project scope, and provide a realistic ball-park costing.
-
3D Surveying and Concept Development: Utilising advanced 3D surveys and technology, the initial concept designs are developed, including detailed drawings, floor plans, elevations, and cross-sections.
-
Design Finalisation: The proposed design is refined with client input and finalised, ready for submission to the relevant local authorities.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between concept designs and technical drawings?
Concept designs are initial drawings that illustrate the overall vision for your project, focusing on layout, form, and aesthetics. Technical drawings are detailed, precise documents that include dimensions, specifications, and construction details. Technical drawings are essential for building control approval and for guiding the construction phase of your project.
2. How long does the design process take?
​
Timescales depend on the size and complexity of your project. As a general guide, concept designs are typically developed within one to two weeks, with technical drawings taking a further two to four weeks. We work as efficiently as possible at every stage without compromising on quality, and we will keep you informed throughout.
​
3. Can changes be made during the design phase?
​
Absolutely. Client feedback is central to how we work. We review your plans with you at regular intervals throughout the design process, allowing adjustments to be made before the technical drawings are finalised. Our goal is to ensure the end result reflects exactly what you had in mind.
​
4. What types of projects do you produce architectural drawings for?
​
We produce drawings for a wide range of residential projects, including single and double-storey extensions, loft conversions, garage conversions, porches, and new builds. We also offer 3D Home Scan surveys to provide a highly accurate starting point for your design.

Dan helped us with our side extension, from consulting during the drawings stage all the way through to completion. He made several useful suggestions and improvements to maximize space and make use of light for our small extension. His knowledge and support throughout was invaluable.
Yell Review
Knowledgeable company that led us in all the right directions. Polite and friendly staff who made us feel very comfortable throughout our project. I certainly don’t think we could have achieved what we did without them. I will certainly be using them again for future projects

Dan did my extension and was really great to work with from the beginning to the end of the project. He was very informative about the process and everything he said would happen did and in the timescale. There is no worry about submitting plans getting work signed off and all the paperwork completed it’s all done by them. The design was exactly as I wanted and Dan listened to what I wanted and got it exactly right. Nothing is to much trouble and each step is clear and prices are very reasonable. It was a pleasure to work with Dan and my extension is fantastic. Highly recommend. Debbie
