J&M Architectural Design Services is an innovative Architectural Practice based in Plymouth. I have a passion for creating contemporary and traditional architecture with sustainable design, specialising in house extensions, loft conversions and new build homes.
Whether you’re looking to extend your home with a loft conversion, or a house extension or build a new house altogether, J&M Design & Architectural Services can help. I take your initial ideas and put together design concepts that will work for you. I will guide you through the design process from Planning permission approval to Building regulations. I strive to create beautiful houses to allow you to feel truly at home.
J&M Design & Architectural Services offers a free half hour design consultation before each project begins, providing design ideas and informal advice on planning applications and viable project solutions to get you off to the very best possible start with your new building project.
Boundary Surveys There can be a difference between physical boundaries on the ground and legal boundaries that exist in deeds and land registry documents. While solicitors are experts in the legal field, the advice and assistance of drawings I can offer can be invaluable in providing mapping and positional expertise to resolve problems.
Covering Plymouth Devon, Cornwall and The South Hams
J&M Architectural Services can arrange all necessary Planning Permission applications for house plans, garden rooms, extensions, loft conversions, garage conversions and conservatories for all our clients in Plymouth, Devon, Cornwall and The South Hams. I can also seek planning permission on your behalf for all construction of new builds, substantial alterations or fundamental changes of use within buildings which require planning permission.
There are many stages to a great home transformation, starting with a site survey and precise architectural designs, then often party wall agreements with neighbours. This moves forward with all the drawings and elevations, PLANNING PERMISSION, where needed, and building control, structural engineering and the build itself.
Planning Applications >>Wherever your project is based in Plymouth, Devon, Cornwall or The South Hams, the planning application process can at first seem daunting. Whether it be for a New Build or alteration to an existing residential property. The drawings are an integral part of the application process in which certain, defined specifications and criteria must be met for your local planning authority to approve your Planning Application and grant PLANNING PERMISSION.
J&M Design & Architectural Services understand that a good design communication is key to a successful Planning Application, simple, precise and clear drawings help all involved understand what is being applied for. Ultimately, it is what makes the difference between an application being understood or misrepresented.
Planning Permission >>Once planning permission has been granted the proposed project will likely require building control approval under the Building Act, known as the Building Regulations. A building control application is therefore required to be submitted along with building control documents such as building egulations drawings and structural calculations. These documents demonstrate to building control that the proposed works meets the required building regulations relevant to the works to be undertaken.
In addition to obtaining planning permission for your project I can also ensure that your proposed building works meet all necessary building regulations to satisfy your local building control officer. This is achieved by adding sections, details and annotations to the approved planning drawings and submitting to either the local Building Control Department or Approved Inspector. Additional Specialists services may be required, eg Engineer, Energy Consultant, Sound Engineer etc, and I can liaise with these on your behalf.
Building Regulations >>Whether you know exactly what you want or you need some ideas and inspiration, J&M Design and Architecural Services can help you maximise the potential of your project. As specialists in bespoke architectural design, my experience an knowledge enables me to offer a full range of architectural services for all building projects; from small residential extensions, loft conversions, Barn or Garage Conversions and other renovation projects to larger new builds.
Architecural Services >>Boundary surveys are most commonly used to determine the legal ownership of a specified plot of land and often form part of a legal document (Land Registry) or lease agreement.
My boundary surveys can be overlaid on Land Registry or historic maps in order to determine any discrepancies to help resolve any disputes or to record new titles with Land Registry/Councils. Boundary Surveys are produced from on site survey information using a mix of technology together with Ordnance Survey information. My survey data is integrated with the Ordnance Survey Map which allows you to relate your site to its surroundings making my boundary survey drawings Land Registry compliant.
