Expert Architects in Cirencester

On acceptance of our fee proposal, we aim to survey the existing site or property within a week (or within your availability), once this is complete, initial proposals are expected to be completed between 2-3 weeks from survey date. From here on, timescale depends on revisions and correspondance, but usually from engagement to planning submission, 5 weeks is average.

We try our best to ensure that the design submitted has the highest chance of approval but abiding by Planning Guidance, but sometimes on rare occasion this doesn't work out for a variety of reasons. If an application is refused, you have 12 months to submit another 'free go' application of a revised scheme, along with 12 weeks to prepare and submit an appeal should you wish to do so. Fees for either of the above are charged on an hourly basis, as sometimes minimal changes need to be made, but changes and scope can vary massively. We do our utmost best to ensure we obtain the best outcome for your application.

Once your planning has been obtained, we do have a list of select contractors that we have previously used for projects, and will be more than happy to obtain prices on your behalf. We do however encourage you to obtain your own contractor quotes, ensure you have checked references, inspected previous work and talked to the contractors previous clients to make sure you are in safe hands and feel comfortable with your choice. We are also happy to 'vet' any contractor you are interested in working with. We understand your project is involving your hard earned money, and you want to feel safe in the knowledge you're getting the best work that you're paying for.
