Trusted Interior Designers and Decorators in Burton upon Trent

We work closesly with a number of architects, plan drawers, building regulation inspectors and other specialists to provide a complete service. This means that DPAD is a one stop shop, however, you can certainly obtain independent quotations for drawings and DPAD can support the project in just a Town Planning capicity if required. It is your project and we can work with you and whomever you opt to undertake the works.

Our fees are based on your requirements and needs. We can quote you a fixed fee for each stage, based on the design time required to work through our design process with you. However, if you would prefer, we can charge by the hour with set cap. Once we have completed stage 1- design and planning, we will then quote you for any further stages. Each stage is independent of each other and can be instructed at your own pace. VAT is charged.

Because of the specialist nature of what we do we have worked with many different local authorities over the years and their planning policies are generally very similar. All properties fall under the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and we are very accustomed to working out a strategy that works for your area. Plus, this means we never take a local authority for granted and look at every application with a fresh perspective. Once we have submitted your application we will act as agent, watching over it and making ourselves known to the planning officer. This way we can monitor for any potential issues and work with them to obtain approval.

Our complete design package is extremely detailed and is normally sufficient for an experienced contractor to work with and many Clients have carried out their projects like this very successfully. However, for those Clients who would feel more comfortable having a Project Manager we can recommend an independent PM.
