Comprehensive Architectural Design
Bring your ideas to life with professional architectural design, planning expertise and a complete design-and-build service. At Asset Lofts, we provide comprehensive architectural services for homeowners looking to transform their property with a loft conversion, home extension, garage conversion or refurbishment.
From your initial consultation through to planning approval and construction, our experienced team manages every stage of the design process, giving you complete confidence that your project is in safe hands.
Whether you’re planning a simple loft conversion or a large-scale home renovation, we’ll create practical, innovative designs that maximise your space while complying with Planning Permission and Building Regulations.
Architectural Services Designed Around Your Home
Every successful building project starts with careful planning and expert design. Our architectural services are tailored to your property, lifestyle and budget, ensuring your new space works seamlessly with the rest of your home.
Unlike many architectural practices, we don’t simply produce drawings. As a specialist design-and-build company, we understand how designs translate into construction, allowing us to create plans that are practical, cost-effective and buildable.
Our architectural services include:
- Free initial consultation
- Measured property survey
- Concept designs
- Planning drawings
- Planning application submission
- Building Regulations drawings
- Structural engineering coordination
- Technical construction drawings
- Ongoing project support
Whether you’re extending your home or creating additional living space in your loft, we manage the entire process from concept to completion.

Our Architectural Design Process
We’ve refined our design process over more than 20 years to make every project as straightforward as possible.
1. Free Consultation
We begin by discussing your ideas, requirements and budget while assessing your property’s potential.
2. Measured Survey
Our designer visits your home to carry out a detailed measured survey, ensuring every drawing is accurate.
3. Concept Design
We prepare initial layouts and work with you to refine the design until you’re completely satisfied.
4. Planning Drawings
Once approved, we prepare professional architectural drawings suitable for Planning Permission or a Certificate of Lawfulness where appropriate.
5. Planning Submission
Our team manages the submission process and liaises with your local planning authority on your behalf.
6. Building Regulations
Following planning approval, we prepare detailed technical drawings that comply with current Building Regulations and coordinate any structural engineering requirements.
7. Construction
As a complete design-and-build company, we can seamlessly move from approved drawings into construction with one dedicated project team.

Planning Permission & Building Regulations
Understanding planning requirements can be confusing, but we’ll guide you through every step.
Depending on your project, your development may fall under Permitted Development Rights or require a full Planning Permission application. Where appropriate, we also recommend obtaining a Certificate of Lawfulness, providing formal confirmation that your project complies with planning legislation.
Our team prepares all required documentation, submits applications and communicates with local planning authorities on your behalf, helping to minimise delays.
Once planning requirements have been addressed, we produce comprehensive Building Regulations drawings covering structural elements, insulation, fire safety, stair design and all other technical requirements needed before construction begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do your architectural services include?
Our architectural services cover everything from the initial survey and concept design through to planning drawings, Building Regulations drawings, planning submissions and ongoing project support.
Do I need an architect for a loft conversion?
While not every loft conversion legally requires an architect, professional architectural drawings help ensure your project is well designed, compliant with regulations and suitable for construction.
Can you submit planning applications for me?
Yes. We prepare all planning documentation and submit applications directly to the local planning authority on your behalf.
What is a Certificate of Lawfulness?
A Certificate of Lawfulness confirms that your proposed development complies with Permitted Development Rights and can provide reassurance before construction begins.
Do you prepare Building Regulations drawings?
Yes. We produce detailed technical drawings required for Building Regulations approval and coordinate with structural engineers where necessary.
Can you work with existing architectural drawings?
Absolutely. If you’ve already instructed an architect, we’ll review the drawings before construction begins and advise if any amendments would improve the build.
How long does the design process take?
Following your survey, we typically prepare your initial architectural drawings within around one week, depending on the complexity of the project.
Can Asset Lofts complete the construction as well?
Yes. Unlike many architectural practices, we’re a complete design-and-build company, allowing us to manage your project from the first design consultation through to the finished build.
