★★★★★
“OnPoint Architects were successful in obtaining planning permission for my loft conversion in a conservation area. It was tricky but I was very impressed with the way OnPoint dealt with the matter. The 3D drawings / designs and attention to detail are amazing. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.”

Our approach

Design-led, client-centred, stage by stage.

We collaborate closely with you from the outset to understand your needs, aspirations and budget, then guide you through each stage with tailored design options. Our drawings are visually driven and technically robust, so your contractor can build accurately from them.

01

Brief & site appraisal

We survey the site, assess its constraints and features, and take time to understand your needs, aspirations and budget before any design work begins.

02

Sketch design

Sketch designs show the internal and external appearance through CAD, hand sketches and 3D visualisations, the stage where your ideas take shape.

03

Developed design

We consult the local authority planning department and produce detailed drawings of your project, suitable for a planning application.

04

Planning application

Once you're happy with the developed design, we submit your planning application and manage it through to a decision.

05

Building Regulations

Drawings, calculations and specifications describing the construction of your home, prepared, submitted to the local authority and supported through any queries.

06

Tender package

Drawings and specifications that show the precise design and arrangement of the building, so contractors can price the work accurately.

Why a chartered architect

Chartered, registered & insured architects.

As trained, registered and insured architects, we understand how the planning system works, and when a design deserves to be fought for. Where a scheme might not initially be granted approval, we will challenge the local authority and make the case to win consent. That is the skill of an architect.

  • Full set of existing and proposed drawings
  • High-quality 3D visualisations, interior and exterior
  • Design Feasibility Report
  • Planning Application Design and Access Statement (DAS)
