What is included in architectural design and planning in Bishopbriggs?

Designing and building under one roof means the drawings are priced as they are drawn, so there are fewer surprises when the quote arrives. If you only need drawings and a planning application, we can do that and you are free to use any builder.

We prepare planning applications where needed and the building warrant application, which must be approved before work starts in Scotland.

What can change the price or programme?

Planning and building regulations are separate approvals; most projects need building regulations even when planning is not needed.
Conservation areas and listed buildings need extra design care and supporting statements.

How does the project run?

Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
