What Is New Build Design & Planning?
New build design and planning involves the creation of detailed architectural and structural plans for a completely new residential property. These plans are used to:
- Apply for outline or full planning permission
- Gain building regulations approval
- Enable builders and contractors to quote and construct accurately
- Ensure compliance with UK building standards
The process includes layout design, external appearance, internal space planning, structural load design, and site-specific considerations like drainage, access, and neighbouring properties.

Frequently Asked Questions.
Yes — new builds almost always require full planning permission. We can help prepare and submit your application with all required drawings and documentation.
Outline permission gets approval “in principle,” but you’ll still need detailed drawings to move forward. We can support both outline and full applications depending on your stage.
Yes — we offer complete building regs packages, including construction drawings and structural calculations. These are needed before you start work or pass building control inspections.
Not necessarily. In many cases, we provide both architectural and structural services in-house — saving you time and money.
Initial concept and planning drawings are usually delivered within 7–10 working days. Planning approval can take 6–10 weeks depending on the council.
Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with builders, architects, and developers to ensure a smooth, integrated workflow.
Cost depends on size, complexity, and whether you need planning, building regs, and structural calculations. We offer fixed-price packages based on a free consultation.
