Design and Planning

Design & Planning Services in Greater Manchester

In our plans intelligent design ideas jump off the page.

Boarshurst is a professional building company and we ensure design plans are competently drawn up by our architectural surveyor who is experienced in the latest materials and techniques.

Any developer will agree that architectural skills raise important considerations and it is better to have these addressed sooner rather than later. This lets intelligent decisions be made about building materials, construction techniques and working within Regulations.

The value our design service contributes is achieved by arriving at the most appropriate solutions for your needs efficiently, within regulations and at the right price, avoiding unnecessary costs.

We always ensure our architectural designs are agreed by clients and completely right before submitting then for Buildings Inspector's or Planning Application approval.

Considerations that typically influence plans include:

• any general problems with the house
• technical issues such as plumbing, electrics, damp, leaks, damage
• spaces that are difficult to use
• a property survey, and initial survey, then a full survey
• structural requirements and the need for calculations
• relevant Planning and Building Regulations

Clients proposed ideal solutions or wish list, for example:

• new bedroom or office
• en-suite
• separate utility room
• enhanced kitchen
• lighter rooms
• ease of maintenance
• clear space and walls

The initial survey and design discussions provide a clear understanding of our design brief before we introduce relevant design ideas. For clients that use us for a plans only service we conduct full survey to be used for Planning Permission (if required) and Building Regulations Approval.

For quotations we quote based on the initial survey and once accepted we conduct a full survey.

Design and planning can appear quite technical to those unfamiliar with it. Our team appreciates this and will explain the process in an easy to understand way.

The latest design technologies allow us to develop ideas visually, to illustrate designs and to quote accurately the cost of the building work. Our process and fixed price quotes ensure that when work starts there are no hidden costs, unnecessary delays and rarely anything significant that is unanticipated.

Our experience allows us to draw up architectural plans compliant with the latest requirements and regulations. This approach ensures clients always receive a friendly, professional service and developments are to plan and budget.
