Architectural Services
Our architectural services often begin with Pre-Application advice, giving you the opportunity to receive valuable feedback from the Local Authority before submitting a formal planning application. This is particularly beneficial for projects in sensitive locations such as Conservation Areas or for large-scale developments. By identifying potential issues early, we help clients move forward with confidence and improve the likelihood of gaining approval.
To ensure precision, we carry out comprehensive Site Surveys as part of our architectural services. These measured surveys cover existing structures, site levels, drainage, and surrounding features, providing accurate data for planning, calculations, and design development. Alongside this, we also offer Landscape and Interior Design to complement your project. Whether you want a garden that integrates seamlessly with your extension or interiors that reflect your lifestyle, our tailored solutions combine practicality with style.
Our architectural services also include structural calculations and complete planning application management. From checking load-bearing walls to designing foundations, we ensure your build is safe and structurally sound. We also manage the full planning submission process, liaising with Local Authorities and addressing key considerations such as privacy, scale, and visual impact. For clients seeking complete support, we provide Contract Administration—overseeing contractors, managing materials, and keeping the project on track from start to finish. At James Howell Designs, our goal is to make sure your build runs smoothly, stays within budget, and delivers the results you imagined.
