THE COMPLETE ARCHITECTURAL
There are many individual reasons for needing
the services of an architect – maybe you are
thinking of building a new home, carrying
out an extension or an alteration, or possibly
you just wish to see how to maximise the
potential of your property.
BBH Chartered Architects have over 35 years
experience as a RIBA Chartered Practice
in Dartmouth and are a respected local
architectural practice who are recognised
for many well-known projects throughout the
South West.
They should be involved from the earliest
stages of your project, as they are able to
offer you the benefits of their experience in
deciding how to maximise the potential of
your existing property or indeed, to propose
ideas for the property you are about to
purchase.
When you contact them, they will explain
how they can help you gain more space,
or make better use of your existing space.
Their initial consultation is free, at which point
they will discuss with you any planning or
building regulation constraints, discuss ideas
on layout and design and advise you on a
suitable budget.
They will discuss your needs in detail and
then produce a feasibility design scheme.
Once you have decided on the specific
area of your home or business that requires
attention, they will draw up the plans and
submit these to the Local Authority for
Planning and Building Regulations approval.
BBH have a tremendous amount of
knowledge and experience in how these two
processes work and know how to satisfy the
very demanding and specific requirements of
a Local Authority.
They will also prepare the full building
specifications needed to obtain competitive
prices from various building contractors.
They will advise on the appointment of a
suitable contractor, and undertake project
management whilst the contractor is on site.
