What It Involves
Accurate, Council-Ready Drawings Produced by Experienced Designers
Poorly produced drawings are one of the most common reasons planning applications are delayed or refused. An incorrect scale or unclear drawing gives planning officers a reason to slow things down.
Every drawing we produce is prepared to the precise scale, format and detail required by the relevant local authority. We work from measured surveys or your existing information.
We produce drawings for every stage: concept sketches, planning drawings, and full technical packages for building regulations and construction. All delivered in PDF and DWG.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions about our Architectural Drawings service.
What drawings do I need for a planning application?
At minimum: a location plan, site plan, and existing and proposed floor plans and elevations. We advise on exactly what is needed for your application.
What is the difference between planning and building regulations drawings?
Planning drawings show what you want to build. Building regulations drawings are detailed technical documents showing how the building will be constructed to meet Building Regulations.
How quickly can you produce drawings?
Most drawing packages are produced within 5-10 working days of receiving all necessary site information. Priority service available for urgent projects.
Do you carry out measured surveys?
Yes. For projects where accurate existing drawings are not available, we carry out a measured survey. Survey costs are included in our quotation.
