Ancillary Services

Sometimes you do not need a full appointment, you just need the right help at the right moment. We offer a selection of additional services including measured surveys, feasibility studies, planning strategy, pre-application support, design reviews, 3D visuals, tender help, contractor queries, site inspections, snagging support and post-occupancy advice. You can use us as a sounding board, a problem solver or an extra pair of experienced eyes when decisions matter.

Available to clients across Cheltenham, Gloucester, Hereford, Ludlow and the Cotswolds, with national support where needed.

About Our Ancillary Services

About Our Service:

Not every client needs a full appointment. Sometimes you just need expert help at a specific point, such as before you buy, before you submit planning or when a build is already under way and decisions are needed quickly.

Our ancillary services give you flexible access to experienced architectural support, either as a fixed package or on an hourly basis.

Common Requests:

  • Measured surveys and ‘as existing’ drawings.
  • Feasibility studies.
  • Planning strategy, pre-application support and design statements.
  • Design reviews for proposals prepared by others.
  • 3D visuals to test massing, layout and daylight.
  • Tender support.
  • Site inspections, contractor queries and snagging support.
  • Post-occupancy assistance.

How It Works:

Tell us what decision you are facing and what information you already have. We will advise the quickest route to clarity, then deliver the level of support appropriate to your situation.
