Architectural Services for Your Home
Building a home is one of the most significant investments that homeowners make. It is wise to seek professional residential architecture services rather than design and build consultancies to make the entire process successful.
We do not dispute their services, but a home is where its occupants make many memories, and it should be well designed, landscaped and finished.
An architect can give you a better house design than other consultancy services, and the creativity infused in the design, regardless of its size, will amaze you.
Architects are highly trained professionals who pay attention to every little detail and consider all the natural elements of the surroundings and the intended site while determining the building materials, building codes and budget.
Architectural Services We Offer
As an experienced Chartered Architect service, Architect Heathfield deals with a wide range of construction projects, so the services we offer are similarly diverse. Here we have listed the general domestic and commercial construction services we provide.
You can also ask our architect about extensions, conversions and renovations. Extensions are a great way to add practical space and value to your property, and we can design a bespoke solution for your home. Whether you'd like to convert a commercial building into a residential dwelling or convert part of your home, we can help. Renovating a property can be one of the most cost-effective ways of achieving your dream home.
Small Projects
You can construct many small residential projects without needing to apply for planning permission. These are allowed under permitted development and include loft conversions, front porches and single-storey extensions.
However, if you are unsure of the regulations you need to follow, relying on the expertise of professionals such as ourselves is your best option. We will happily advise on the legality of your project, as well as helping to design and deliver the modification.
Large Home Extension Design
It is possible to make larger modifications to your property without any planning permission. Our Sussex architecture service has helped make this a reality for many of our clients, thanks to our understanding of the complexities of building regulations.
We can also make sure that these modifications are built using the best contemporary methods and the highest quality materials.
Luxury High-End House Design
Aside from extensions and loft conversions, Architect Heathfield also specialises in luxury home design. For example, if you plan to remove any existing structures to build an entirely new, high-end property, we are on hand to provide professional architectural services.
We can oversee the entire project from its initial conception and design to managing the construction itself, and we are happy to offer professional advice if you already have designs in mind.
As project manager, we can oversee the implementation of your vision for the construction project. We also work in association with local Sussex-based contractors whom we know and can recommend highly.
Technical Drawings and Details
After we have helped you acquire the necessary planning permission for your proposed construction project, we can create detailed technical drawings of your plans. As professional Chartered Architects, we can plan any modification or property you envision.
These drawings assist your chosen contractors in building the property and allow you to budget the project to make it as cost-effective as possible. Aside from the properties themselves, we can also detail any drainage required. Given that plumbing can often affect the overall design of a property, these drainage drawings are often needed early in the project's life.
Planning Permission
The first and most important step in a construction project is acquiring the necessary planning permission. Architect Heathfield offers its expertise on the matter to help make the process as smooth and quick as possible.
We are experts in construction regulations and have in-depth knowledge of planning legislation.
Building Regulations and Working Drawings
As an experienced architectural service, we have excellent professional knowledge of building regulations and the extent to which they need to be incorporated into the building's design from the very start.
New Homes, Extensions and Conversions
If you are planning to construct a single building or house, Architect Heathfield has the experience and understanding of planning requirements to help your project run smoothly. We work with both individual and commercial developers to help their projects along.
We offer free consultations for those considering extensions or conversions to their existing properties. Through our years of experience, we have helped design and oversee the creation of many new extensions, loft conversions and garage conversions throughout East Sussex and West Sussex.
Our residential architect services are available throughout Sussex, Kent, Surrey and London.
