1. Briefing
To start the process we will visit your home and spend time with you discussing your project brief and budget. We will help procure a measured building survey of your existing property and can recommend local surveyors we have worked with previously.
This is where we start to design your project. We develop plans, sections and elevations, alongside 3D visuals to give you the best understanding of how your project will feel. We revise the scheme with you until you are happy with the concept design.
2. Concept Design
Planning permission is key for most projects, but sometimes the proposal may fall within the permitted development regulations. We will prepare the planning drawings / design and access statement, submit the proposal on your behalf and deal with any queries from the local authority. We will also liaise with and help you appoint other consultants which may be required as part of the planning process.
3. Planning
Once we have achieved planning permission we will prepare the building control drawings, co-ordinate the design with the structural engineer, submit the proposal on your behalf and deal with any queries from the local authority. We can also assist with the appointment of a local contractor and help get you started on site!
4. Construction Info
Once on site, we can continue to work with you and your builder to ensure the construction stage flows seamlessly and to allow you to enjoy your new project as soon as possible!
5. On Site
Sustainability
Splash Architecture is a progressive and ethical architectural practice, founded with an ambition to produce environmentally and socially responsive design that benefits the end user and the planet.
We are experienced in working with heritage and conservation environments as well as the retrofit of historically important buildings.
Towards Net Zero Carbon
Our design approach aims to reduce the construction and operational carbon impacts of the places we design towards net zero, as well as improving biodiversity, physical and mental wellbeing and the local ecology.
The construction industry is considered to be responsible for up to 40% of carbon emissions, therefore we carefully consider the implications of material selection, construction methods and end of life use to move your project towards net zero carbon solutions.
