Outcomes

Approved, and quietly delighted.

★★★★★

Our wraparound extension was approved first time in Lambeth. The drawings were immaculate and the portal meant I never once had to chase for an update.

Sarah R.Rear extension · Lambeth
★★★★★

They spotted our loft qualified as permitted development — saved us the whole planning process. An architect had already quoted us triple for the same job.

James M.Loft conversion · Ealing
★★★★★

Fixed fee meant the price never moved, even when the council asked for revisions. Structural calcs were handled in-house, which made the builder's life easy.

Amara O.Double-storey extension · Hackney
★★★★★

Quote on Monday, survey on Thursday, drawings the following Friday. Wandsworth approved without a single amendment. Ridiculously smooth.

Tom K.Mansard loft · Wandsworth
★★★★★

Two other firms quoted more and wanted twice as long. These drawings sailed through Islington's conservation team first time.

Priya D.Side return · Islington
★★★★★

Our builder said they were the clearest drawings he'd worked from in twenty years. The council agreed — approved in six weeks.

FAQ

Asked often.

Do I even need planning permission?+
Possibly not — many extensions and lofts fall under permitted development rights. We check your property's eligibility first, and if a full application isn't needed we'll recommend a Lawful Development Certificate instead — faster and cheaper.
Planning vs building regs drawings — what's the difference?+
Planning drawings show the council what the building will look like and how it affects neighbours. Building regulations drawings show how it will be built safely — structure, insulation, fire escape, drainage. Most projects need both; our Complete package covers the two together.
Why a chartered technologist instead of an architect?+
For residential planning and building regs work, an MCIAT chartered technologist produces the same council-accepted drawings with the same professional accountability — typically around 30% lower fees. Councils don't score applications by the author's job title.
How long does approval take?+
Drawings are typically delivered within 7 days of survey. Councils then have a statutory 8 weeks for householder applications. Lawful Development Certificates usually resolve faster.
What happens if the council refuses?+
Refusals are rare because every drawing is reviewed against your borough's local plan before submission. If it happens, we advise on revisions or handle the appeal — many refusals recover at appeal stage.
