Our process

Clear communication is at the heart of all our projects. From conception to completion, you’ll be updated on every development, every step of the way.

1. Consultation
Here, we’ll discuss your vision, budget, requirements and any other preferences for your new loft space.
2. Site analysis
We’ll conduct a site visit to assess your loft’s structural condition, headroom, access points and feasibility of conversion.
3. Feasibility study
Next, we’ll evaluate the feasibility of your proposed loft conversion, considering structural integrity, planning regulations and budget constraints.
4. Concept design
Based on your vision, we’ll come up with multiple concepts, refine layouts and add our own creative flair to bring your space to life.
5. Design development
Concepts complete, we’ll create detailed architectural drawings ensuring our design complements your existing structure.

6. Planning permission
Where required, we’ll prepare and submit planning applications to local authorities, including all the necessary documentation and supporting material.
7. Building regulations
With planning approved, we’ll prepare technical drawings and specifications to ensure our designs comply with building regulations and standards.
8. Tender process
We’ll oversee the entire tender process, from evaluating bids to checking the chosen contractor is suitable for your project.
9. Construction management
At every stage of the build, we’ll monitor progress, coordinate with contractors and ensure construction adheres to design and quality standards.
10. Completion and handover
Once the build is complete, we’ll conduct a final inspection, address any minor defects and leave you to enjoy your new space.
