Planning & Architectural Drawings

From measured survey to planning approval - we prepare all drawings, documentation, and manage the full submission with the Local Planning Authority on your behalf.

Planning & Architectural Drawings - what we do for you

Whether you are extending your home, converting your loft, or adding a new building to your plot, obtaining planning permission is the first critical step. We guide you through the entire process - from initial ideas to a decision notice - so you can move forward with confidence.

01
Initial Consultation & Site Visit
We begin every project with a thorough on-site consultation to understand your goals, assess feasibility, and define the scope - before any drawings begin. You leave knowing exactly what is possible and what happens next.
02
Measured Survey & Existing Drawings
A precise measured survey of your property produces accurate as-built drawings - the essential foundation for all design and planning work. Without this, mistakes are inevitable; with it, everything that follows is built on solid ground.
03
Concept & Design Options
We develop design concepts for your extension or conversion, exploring options to find the solution that best suits your lifestyle, budget, and site. We present clear alternatives so you can make an informed decision before committing to a full application.
04
Proposed Drawings & Documentation
Full preparation of proposed architectural drawings and all supporting documentation required for a complete planning application - floor plans, elevations, site plan, and design & access statement where required.
05
Submission & Planning Authority Liaison
We submit your application and act as your single point of contact with the Local Planning Authority - managing queries, responding to requests for information, and keeping you informed at every stage until a decision is reached.

Building Regulations & Construction

Once planning is secured, we prepare the full technical package for Building Control, including structural coordination and detailed construction drawings.

Building Regulations & Construction Drawings - what we do for you

Planning permission is only the beginning. Before a single brick is laid, your project needs a comprehensive technical package that satisfies Building Control, specifies every structural element, and gives your builder clear, unambiguous instructions. We produce that package - and we manage the approval process on your behalf.

01
Building Regulation & Construction Drawings
Comprehensive technical drawings produced to Building Regulation standard - covering all elements required for an approved and buildable project. Floor plans, sections, elevations, and all key construction details.
02
Structural Coordination & Calculations
We coordinate all structural elements - beams, lintels, padstones, foundations - and prepare basic structural calculations to ensure your project is safe, compliant, and ready for the builder on site without ambiguity.
03
Building Control Submission & Liaison
We submit your Full Plans application and remain your single point of contact with Building Control throughout the review period - responding to queries, tracking progress, and ensuring approval is secured efficiently.
04
Revisions & Building Control Queries
We handle all revisions and provide clear, timely responses to any technical queries raised by Building Control - ensuring your approval is not delayed by back-and-forth that you shouldn't have to deal with yourself.

Planning approved and ready to move to technical stage? Or starting fresh and need both stages together? Let's talk.

Construction Delivery

Where design meets reality. When the drawings are ready, we can go further - coordinating the full construction phase through our network of trusted, vetted building contractors. From breaking ground to final handover, your project is managed with the same precision and care as the design that preceded it.

Construction Delivery - what we do for you

Having the drawings is one thing. Seeing them built correctly, on time, and to the standard they were designed to - that is something else entirely. Our Stage 3 service bridges that gap: we coordinate the full construction phase through a trusted network of vetted contractors, so you have one point of contact from the first day on site to the final handover.

01
Trusted Construction Partners
We work exclusively with vetted, reliable building contractors who understand the standards our drawings demand. Your project is in professional hands from day one on site - no cold calls, no lottery of unknown tradespeople.
02
Site Management & Oversight
Regular site inspections and progress monitoring ensure the build follows the approved drawings precisely. Issues are identified and resolved before they become problems - protecting your investment at every stage.
03
Programme & Timeline Management
A clear construction programme is agreed from the outset. We coordinate trades, manage material procurement, and keep the project on schedule - so delays are minimised and your completion date is protected.
04
Turnkey Delivery
The complete package: architectural design, structural engineering, and full construction coordination delivered seamlessly under one roof. One point of contact. One standard of quality. From vision to keys in hand.

Projects We've Delivered

From single-storey extensions to full structural packages - here's a cross-section of what we do.

Featured Project

Loft Conversion & Rear Extension - Southampton

This project began with a full survey of the existing property to accurately record its ground floor layout. Following consultation with the client, the conservatory was reconfigured into a fully open-plan kitchen, dining and living extension, transforming the rear of the home into a single connected living space. At first floor, a new loft conversion was designed to add two further bedrooms and a bathroom, significantly increasing the property's overall floor area. The drawings below show the project's progression - from existing conditions through to the final proposed ground and first floor layouts.

Featured Project

4-Bed to 7-Bed HMO Conversion - Portsmouth

This project involved the full reconfiguration of an existing 4-bedroom residential dwelling into a 7-bedroom House in Multiple Occupation (HMO), with each room designed to include its own en-suite shower room. The layout was carefully redesigned to meet HMO licensing and building regulation requirements while maximising room sizes and circulation space. The drawings below show the existing layout alongside the final proposed floor plans.

What Our Clients Say

Real feedback from homeowners and developers we've worked with across Hampshire and beyond.

Karol handled everything from the first consultation through to planning approval. The drawings were incredibly detailed and the whole process was stress-free. Approved on first submission.
Sarah & James M. Rear Extension · Southampton
Skorzystaliśmy z usług Kowalski Design przy adaptacji poddasza i byliśmy pod wielkim wrażeniem przez cały czas trwania projektu. Karol przejął pełną kontrolę nad dokumentacją techniczną - obliczenia konstrukcyjne, przepisy budowlane, rysunki wykonawcze. Zajął się całą korespondencją z Kontrolą Budowlaną, dzięki czemu my mogliśmy skupić się na innych sprawach. Komunikacja była sprawna i rzeczowa, a terminy dotrzymane. Wysoce profesjonalne podejście, które polecam każdemu.
