THE PEOPLE BEHIND YOUR PLANS
Good design starts
with a conversation.
A home project is a significant decision. You deserve to understand the drawings, the process and the cost before you commit. We help you make that first step with practical advice and a clear written proposal.
Led by Ryan Skitt, we bring personal communication to projects of all sizes. From your first photographs on WhatsApp to reviewing your drawings, the focus stays on what your property needs and what matters to you.

Before you get started.
Browse all questionsWhat do you need for an initial quotation?
Your project postcode, the type of property and a short description of what you want to change. Photographs or existing plans help, but you do not need a complete design brief to get in touch.
How much will my drawings cost?
We quote for your project and the work you need. Your written proposal sets out the drawings, application support, revision allowance and payment stages. Council charges and specialist reports are identified separately.
Do I need planning permission for an extension or loft conversion?
Some work may be permitted development, but the route depends on the property, its planning history, location and the proposed design. We assess the relevant constraints before recommending an application route. Rules differ across the UK.
What is a lawful development certificate (LDC)?
An LDC is a formal local-authority decision about the lawfulness of existing or proposed development for planning purposes. For a permitted-development proposal, it can provide useful written confirmation. It does not replace building regulations approval.
Are planning drawings the same as building regulations drawings?
No. Planning drawings support assessment of the proposal’s planning merits. Technical drawings provide the agreed construction information for building regulations and coordination. Approval under one system does not replace the other.
Can you work remotely on my property?
Yes. We first agree how reliable existing-property information will be obtained. That might be an appropriate survey, verified existing drawings or client measurements where suitable. We confirm what is acceptable for your particular package.
Your next chapter starts with a conversation.
Send your postcode, a short description and any photographs you already have. We will help you identify the right next step.
