Residential development

Small-site and brownfield housing schemes for developers and landowners.

Overview

From a single infill plot to a brownfield site, we help developers understand what a site can deliver, then design a scheme that gets through planning and sells.

01

Feasibility studies

Test plot numbers, layouts and massing before you buy or commit.

02

Planning-led design

Layouts that respect neighbours, highways and local policy.

03

Marketing imagery

The same CGIs that win planning can sell the homes off-plan.

04

New build and modular

Traditional or modern methods of construction.

Questions

Good to know

All FAQs

Is the first consultation really free?

Yes. Your initial discovery meeting is free and without obligation. We use it to understand your requirements and create a client brief, then send a clear, stage-by-stage fee proposal.

How are your fees structured?

After the discovery meeting we send a fee proposal broken down by stage, from surveys and concept design through to planning, building regulations and tender drawings. You can see exactly what each stage costs, and clients consistently describe our pricing as reasonable and transparent.

Do I need planning permission?

It depends on the project, the property and its location. Many extensions fall under permitted development, while new builds, larger schemes, listed buildings, conservation areas and HMOs in Article 4 areas usually need full planning. We'll advise you at the discovery meeting.

What are 3D renders and do I need them?

Renders are photoreal computer-generated images of your design, inside and out. They let you see your home before it's built, help you make decisions with confidence, and are a persuasive part of a planning application.
