It’s time!
You’ve thought long and hard about what to do with your property, and now it’s time to take the next step toward getting more out of your home. More fulfillment. More space. More value.
…no more sitting there thinking, “Is this the right direction?” or “Where do we even start?”
…no more wondering how to improve storage and fit a growing family’s needs.
…no more longing for that gorgeous, spacious kitchen where you can cook impressive meals for your friends and family.
…no more late-night conversations with your spouse discussing endless options yet feeling stuck and unhappy.
It doesn’t have to be this way!
Whether you’ve just moved in and you’ve never done a major home project before…
Or you’ve lived in your house for a few years and you’re finally ready to gain more space…
Or even if this might not be your forever home — but you do plan to live here for at least another 5-10 years and want to make it feel more like a home…
…reaching this moment (deciding to go forward at last with your project) should be really exciting! However, we often hear stories from our clients about past architects not listening to their needs and being unwilling to explore different creative options (while charging exorbitant fees and taking weeks or even months to make changes to the design!).
The first step of most extension, renovation, and conversion projects is to prepare a planning permission or building permit application, depending on your location and various factors. Generally, all planning applications need to be accompanied by a set of clear, accurate, scaled architectural drawings that shows the existing and proposed development. These drawings help the planning council reach their decision – ideally with ease.
If you’re ready to breathe new life into your property by engaging a reliable, creative, experienced design team…
We will help you take your property to the next level with our Planning Drawings Package.
We will be taking all the pieces of the puzzle – all of your ideas, all of your dreams and requirements – and working together to make it happen.
We know the ins and outs of creating clear, precise, functional planning drawings using tried and true online collaboration methods, and we’ve helped hundreds of people through this process of preparing residential planning drawings. This allows us to offer you high-quality planning drawings at a fraction of the cost of traditional architect firms.
The Planning Drawings Package is a collaborative 2-week design service which will take you from ideas to plans when it comes to your planning needs.

This Is Perfect For You If…
→ You are ready to take action and need a full detailed set of planning permission drawings (UK) or building permit drawings (USA) for a residential extension, renovation, or conversion. You’re familiar with your local
→ You have a solid idea of what you want out of the proposed development, but you need someone to be alongside you to help translate your ideas into the required drawings for a planning application.
→ You want to have a hands-on involvement, and you are happy to manage aspects of the project yourself, such as submitting the planning application yourself, liaising with the planning council, and coordinating other contractors or engineers required for the project. You’ve done your research and due diligence about the type of proposed development that will likely be approved.
→ You’re ready to invest time and money into creating a home that gives you more fulfillment, more space, and more value.
Who This Is Not For…

→ You don’t want to spend the money or put aside the time to working with a designer, doing client homework, and providing meaningful feedback on the proposed designs.
“Dmitriy was absolutely amazing! He actually exceeded the expectations I had to start with. Not only did he modify the plans I needed for my planning application, but he worked intelligently and answered the brief with added value. He was on time and easy to work with. I would not hesitate to work with Dmitriy again in the future. He’s a real find.”
