About

James Howell Designs is a comprehensive architectural services company dedicated to guiding clients through every stage of their construction journey. From the very first concept discussions to the final handover of the finished build, we provide expert support and tailored solutions that make your project as seamless and stress-free as possible. Whether you’re planning a new build, an extension, or a renovation, our team has the experience and resources to help bring your vision to life.

Our services begin with essential early-stage processes like Pre-Applications and Planning Applications, helping you navigate local authority requirements and ensuring your proposals are well-prepared and compliant. We manage the entire planning process, addressing important design factors such as street scene impact, privacy, scale, and site constraints. This careful preparation helps reduce the risk of delays and increases the likelihood of a successful outcome.

Once planning permission is secured, we move on to Detailed Design and Building Regulations approval. Our detailed drawings and specifications provide all the technical information contractors need for accurate quoting and reliable construction. We also offer Structural Calculations, SAP and Heat Loss Calculations, and Sound Testing services to ensure every aspect of your build meets legal standards, energy efficiency targets, and acoustic performance requirements.

In addition to the core design and technical services, James Howell Designs also supports your project with valuable site-based and environmental expertise. We conduct Site Surveys, produce Ecology Reports to meet sustainability standards, and offer Landscape Design services to integrate your outdoor spaces with the overall design vision. For those wanting to personalise their interior spaces, our Interior Design services help ensure a cohesive and beautiful finish throughout.

To complete the full-service offering, our Contract Administration service helps keep your project on track. We coordinate contractors, materials, schedules, and oversee site progress, ensuring the build runs smoothly, stays on budget, and aligns with your approved plans. With James Howell Designs, you benefit from an experienced team that delivers end-to-end architectural solutions—turning your ideas into reality with professionalism and care.
