Residential Architecture Services in Farnborough
We provide a complete range of architectural services for homeowners in Farnborough, covering every stage of your project. Whether you’re planning an extension, remodelling your interiors or creating a new build, we tailor our service to your vision, budget and lifestyle.
Architectural Design and Planning
We start by looking at the feasibility and concept, sketching ideas before working up architectural drawings that can be submitted as a planning application.
Building Regulations
Computer Aided Design, Advice, Structural design and calculations, Building Regulation submissions and approvals.
Tendering and Procurement
We produce construction drawings, schedules, specifications and contracts. We produce a tender shortlist with you and then issue tender packs for procurement of the packages for build and services.
Construction Phase
We attend site during the project on a watching brief, to ensure compliance with the specification and to manage change. We are with you every step of the project until successful completion.
Interior Design
We have a panel of approved Interior designers which we happily recommend.
Comprehensive Architectural Services in Farnborough
Whatever the scale of your project, we provide a full architectural service designed to give you clarity, confidence and a beautifully finished home.
Our process always begins with understanding your needs – whether it’s opening up your kitchen into a modern family space, adding bedrooms for a growing household, or creating a bespoke home from scratch. We then translate those goals into designs that fit your lifestyle and budget, considering important details such as natural light, room flow and energy efficiency.
We go beyond drawings. Our services include handling planning guidance and approvals, preparing building regulation submissions, managing tendering and procurement, and staying involved during construction. This full-circle support means you have one point of contact from the first sketch right through to completion.
Every Farnborough project is unique, but our commitment remains the same – a home that reflects your personality, built with care and backed by expert guidance. To see how we have achieved this for others, explore our portfolio of recent projects.
How much does it cost to hire an architect in Farnborough?
Our fees depend on the scale and complexity of your project, with clear, fixed quotes provided at each stage.</strong> Smaller projects such as single-storey extensions are usually less costly to design than full new builds, but we always provide transparent costs upfront so you can plan with confidence.
Do I need planning permission for my project in Farnborough?
Not always – some projects can be completed under permitted development rights. We confirm this early in the process and advise you on the best route forward. Where planning permission is needed, we prepare and submit the application to Rushmoor Borough Council on your behalf. For more information, see our page on planning guidance and approvals.
Can you recommend builders in Farnborough?
Yes – we work with a trusted network of local contractors and manage a competitive tender process. You’ll receive comparable quotes and clear recommendations. Learn more on our tendering and procurement page.
How long does the design and approval process take?
Most Farnborough projects take 8–12 weeks from concept design to planning approval, depending on complexity and council timelines. We provide a clear programme and regular updates so you always know where things stand.
Do you only work on projects in Farnborough?
We work extensively in Farnborough as well as across Hampshire and neighbouring areas. Many of our clients come from nearby towns such as Aldershot, Fleet and Camberley.
