Drawings for commercial projects and developers

Commercial projects bring their own set of rules, from change of use and fire strategy to accessibility and shop front design. We prepare drawings for landlords, business owners and small developers who need a clear, reliable set of plans without the overheads of a large practice.

Whether you are converting a building above a shop into flats, fitting out a new unit or putting together a small development, we can take the project from measured survey to planning and building regulations. We work alongside your planning consultant, engineer or contractor where needed, and we are used to working to tight timescales when a lease or purchase depends on it.

Survey and brief

We measure the building and agree what you need from the drawings.

Scheme design

We design a layout that works for the building and the regulations.

Submission

We prepare the planning and building regulations drawings and submit them.

We understand that commercial projects often run to a timescale set by a lease or sale. Tell us your deadline when you get in touch and we will be honest about whether we can meet it.
