Free, no obligation site visit
For all new projects we like to meet at the site to discuss the specific project requirements. If it’s your current home, an evening or weekend visit may be more convenient for you.
Following this meeting an itemised list of services will be prepared and a fee proposal will be confirmed in writing. Each service is explained and any other likely costs involved such as statutory fees and other consultants fees are outlined.
Feasibility Studies
On many projects it can be unclear at the outset exactly what all of the possibilities are, a feasibility study is an ideal low cost way to explore them. An outline brief is formed at this stage; the brief begins to clarify the key project requirements. Whether it’s for a residential home extension or a new build development, a feasibility study indicates the size of development that can be achieved. This annotated set of drawings and brief are perfect for initiating pre-application enquiries with the Local Authority.
Many residential projects are allowable under permitted development. At the feasibility stage it can be quickly identified if the project falls under permitted development or requires a planning application.
Planning Applications
Following on from a feasibility study, the next stage of the project which we would be involved in is the submission of a Planning Application. This includes:
All of this information goes through a thorough design review, to ensure that every element and detail meet the brief. The development of the design leads to a final set of detailed plans, elevations and sections that inform an updated outline specification and cost plan.
Once the final cost estimate has been agreed the drawings and associated documentation can be submitted to the Local Authority for planning permission approval or a permitted development certificate as required.
CLIENT RECOMMENDATIONSTestimonials
Certificates of Lawful Development for Permitted Development
This is a document which we would recommend for projects which fall under permitted development. It provides you with written confirmation that your home extension or other building work is lawful, should there be any questions raised over whether your project passes for permitted development. This could be during the project, or at a later date when trying to sell your home.
Building Control Applications
This is the next stage to address once the planning application has been approved. Project documents and drawings will be annotated and updated so that they include very specific technical information required by Building Regulations to ensure that development work will be safe.
Interior Design
On many simple domestic projects this element can be undertaken by the home owner, who has strong ideas about what they want the look and feel to be. When required, CJA Architecture can collaborate with the owner to create a plan for the interior design. This can include moodboards and colour swatching to create themes for the project, as well as finding furnishings to complement the environment into which it is being added.
