What is included in architectural design and planning in Tetbury?
Architectural design and planning covers everything before building starts: a measured survey of the house, design options, planning or permitted development drawings, the application itself, building regulations drawings and structural calculations. We offer it on its own or as part of a design-and-build project.
- Measured survey of the existing house
- Design options and 3D views
- Submission and liaison with the planning officer
How much should I budget for architectural design and planning?
Typical ranges for architectural design and planning. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.
| Architectural design and planning | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Measured survey and existing drawings | £500 to £1,200 |
| Planning drawings and application | £1,200 to £3,000 |

How is architectural design and planning approved in Tetbury?
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
We confirm whether your project is permitted development, needs prior approval or needs a householder application, and prepare the right submission.
What should I think about before starting?
- Planning and building regulations are separate approvals; most projects need building regulations even when planning is not needed.
- Pre-application advice from the council can help on sensitive sites.
From first call to completion
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
