Design and Planning

Our dedicated team will prepare the planning drawings elevation and sections as required and submit them for panning permission, acting as your agent from start to finish. We will be in direct contact with the planning officers to obtain the desired planning permission.

Building Control

A complicated matter that we make simple.

– Part A structures can be prepared by our in-house engineer; we do not subcontract the work or point external firms; we design the beams, foundations and lintels in-house to avoid the bottlenecks between different disciplines.

– Other building regulation parts can be dealt with on-site for small projects, or details can be submitted to building control depending on how much control you would like to have during construction.

Party Wall

Most extensions will require a party wall agreement; our in-house party wall surveyors will prepare the party wall notices and then visit your neighbour’s properties to prepare a condition survey which will protect you from any claim. We will then prepare the party wall agreement and the party wall awards, legal documents that you should keep safe with the property deeds.

Construction

Our Qualified Professionals will take care of everything, including planning permission, party wall awards, structural design and construction, eliminating the bottlenecks in designer/builder collaboration.

Our in-house construction team undertakes only 20 projects annually, ensuring clients’ satisfaction, health and safety, and delivery on time and within budget. As we undertake more than 700 projects a year overall, we provide clients satisfaction through project management for the rest of our projects, introducing vetted subcontractors.

Why Architekto?

We revolutionise how we produce planning drawings, eliminating time-consuming meetings, measuring surveys and exchanging numerous PDF Markups with clients and other professionals. 

We provide affordable Architectural and Planning services with a virtual consultation and hassle-free processes or a traditional approach that will include a site visit. 

In most cases, we can obtain all the information required for the planning permission without a site visit, obtaining data through online sources. This way, we can produce the existing floor plans. 

We then arrange a video consultation where our Architects and technicians will draw the proposed plans on Cad. 

At the same time, you observe and give direct feedback on a Zoom video and screen-sharing call for a seamless process till we achieve the desired layout. This way, we save time exchanging PDF notes. 

We can submit the planning drawings within a week, while other firms require four weeks from the initial concept to the planning submission. 

After we obtain planning, our engineers will work on the same floor plans without charging you double the fees for extracting the information from the Architectural drawings as traditional firms would do. 

With offices in London, we can ensure that our architects and project managers will regularly visit to monitor safety on site, and we will liaise with local authorities and other consultants for technical queries.
