What types of commercial projects do you work on?

We support a wide range of commercial developments, including industrial units, warehouses, offices, retail premises, healthcare facilities, education buildings, leisure developments, mixed-use schemes, commercial conversions and change of use projects. Whether you're extending an existing building or developing a new site, we can provide the technical support you need.

Can you help before I've purchased a site?

Yes. We regularly undertake feasibility studies and site appraisals to help clients understand a site's development potential before committing to a purchase. This can identify planning constraints, development opportunities and potential risks at an early stage.

What services do you provide?

We offer a comprehensive range of services, including measured building and LiDAR surveys, feasibility studies, architectural design, planning consultancy, planning applications, Building Regulations packages, building control consultancy, principal designer services and construction/tender support.

Do you manage the project from start to finish?

Yes. We can support your project from the initial concept and feasibility stage through planning, technical design, Building Regulations and construction, providing a coordinated service throughout the development process.

Do I need planning permission for my commercial development?

This depends on the type and scale of the proposed development. Some projects require full planning permission, while others may benefit from Permitted Development Rights. We can assess your proposal and advise on the most appropriate planning route.

 

Can you help with change of use and commercial conversions?

Absolutely. We regularly assist clients with converting and repurposing existing buildings, including offices, retail premises, industrial buildings, agricultural buildings and mixed-use developments. We'll guide you through the planning and technical requirements to help unlock the full potential of your property.

Do you work with developers, businesses and property investors?

Yes. Our clients include commercial developers, landowners, businesses, investors, property managers and public sector organisations. Whether you're delivering a single commercial unit or a multi-building development, we tailor our services to suit your project.

Can you coordinate with other consultants?

Yes. We regularly work alongside structural engineers, civil engineers, M&E consultants, arboricultural consultants, ecologists, highways consultants and other specialists to provide a coordinated and efficient design team.

How do I get started?

Simply get in touch with our team to discuss your project. We'll arrange an initial consultation to understand your objectives, discuss the site's potential and explain the next steps. From there, we'll recommend the most appropriate services to help move your development forward.
