    Designing a new build home is an opportunity to create a property around the way you live, from the layout and flow of each room to the materials, finishes and relationship with the surrounding site. Our new build architects in Birmingham provide architectural design, planning and technical expertise to help bring your ideas to life.

    With almost three decades of experience, we work with homeowners, self-builders, landowners and developers across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands. From assessing the potential of a site to developing detailed architectural drawings, we can support your project through every stage of the design and planning process.

    Award Winning Housing Development Architects

    Designing a bespoke home in the West Midlands requires a balance of creative vision and local planning expertise. We specialise in translating your lifestyle requirements into high-performance, contemporary residences that are architecturally distinct and perfectly optimised.

    Experience is the difference between a stalled project and a successful build. We leverage nearly three decades of architectural expertise to guide developers and self-builders through the complexities of site feasibility and spatial planning. By analysing the unique environmental and regulatory constraints of your plot, we create bespoke design solutions that maximise land value and deliver exceptional living environments.

    New Build Site Feasibility and Development Potential

    Before investing heavily in a new build project, it is important to understand what can realistically be achieved on your site.

    Our site feasibility and development consultancy helps homeowners, landowners and developers assess the potential of a plot before progressing to detailed design. We consider the characteristics of the site, surrounding development, access, planning constraints and other factors that could influence the design.

    This early-stage assessment can help identify opportunities and potential challenges, giving you a clearer understanding of the site’s development potential and helping to inform the design of your new build home.

    New Build Planning Permission

    Planning is an important part of any new build project. Our experience of local planning requirements allows us to develop designs that respond to the relevant planning considerations from the outset.

    This can be particularly important for sites affected by Green Belt and other planning constraints across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands. By considering planning requirements alongside the architectural design, we can help you understand what may be achievable before progressing with your project.

    We can prepare and manage a range of planning applications and supporting information, including Permitted Development, Full Planning Applications, Building Regulations and Lawful Development Certificates.

    Our new build planning services typically range from £2,500 to £3,500 + VAT.

    Our New Build Architecture Process

    We can support your new build project from the initial idea through to the technical design stage.

    We start by understanding your requirements, ideas, budget and ambitions for the project. This gives us a clear brief to work from and allows us to discuss your site and any initial questions you may have.

    We assess the potential of your site and consider factors that could affect the development, including its surroundings, access and planning constraints.

    We develop architectural concepts that respond to your requirements and the opportunities presented by the site. Designs can then be refined as the project develops.

    Once the design has been developed, we can prepare the relevant planning information and submit your application to the local authority.

    Following planning approval, we can develop the design further and prepare detailed technical drawings and information to support the building regulations process.

    With the design and technical information in place, your project can progress towards construction with a clear set of drawings and requirements for your contractor.

    Do I Need an Architect for a New Build House?

    A new build house involves a number of decisions around the design, layout, planning and technical requirements of the project. While not every project requires you to appoint an architect for every stage, working with an experienced architect can help you make the most of your site and develop a design that meets your requirements.

    A new build architect can assess the potential of your plot, develop your initial ideas into a detailed design and help you navigate the planning process. They can also prepare the architectural and technical drawings required to progress your project towards construction and building regulations approval.
