At James Howell Designs, we believe that every architectural project deserves expert guidance from the very first idea to the final handover. As a full-service architectural practice, we offer a complete range of services designed to support our clients through every stage of their project, whether it’s a home extension, a new build, or a commercial development. Our approach ensures that you have professional advice and technical expertise at every critical step, making the process smoother and more rewarding.

Our journey with clients often starts with Pre-Application (Pre-App) consultations and Planning Applications, where we help shape design ideas to meet both your vision and local authority requirements. For projects in sensitive areas like Conservation Zones or Green Belts, our experience ensures that proposals are presented in the best possible light to gain planning approval. Once planning is secured, we move seamlessly into Detailed Design, providing comprehensive construction drawings, specifications, and Building Regulations submissions—ensuring your contractors have everything they need to bring your project to life.

To support the build process, we offer crucial technical services including Structural Calculations, SAP and Heat Loss Calculations, and Sound Testing, making sure your project meets engineering and environmental standards. For sites that require ecological considerations, our Ecology Reports help you stay compliant with environmental regulations. We also conduct Site Surveys and source Ordnance Survey data, ensuring that planning and design work is based on accurate site information.

Beyond the structure itself, we understand that great architecture doesn’t stop at the walls. That’s why we offer Landscape Design and Interior Design services, helping clients create harmonious and beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces that reflect their lifestyle and taste. Our Contract Administration service for new builds ensures everything stays on schedule and budget, managing contractors and materials right through to the final handover.

At James Howell Designs, our commitment is simple: to make your architectural journey as professional, efficient, and enjoyable as possible. Whether you’re embarking on a small home project or a large-scale development, we’re here to turn your ideas into reality, delivering tailored solutions every step of the way.
