Residential Architecture Services
We have an efficient and thorough process when it comes to providing residential architecture. Tom Withers Architecture provides the following services;-
Residential Planning & Design – Our architectural planning and design service encompasses all your requirements and preferences and we work with you to make your dream a reality. We want to strike the perfect balance between aesthetic and functionality because is there anything better than a property that looks amazing as well as has performance benefits? The simple answer to this question is no. Our residential architecture team takes a lot of pride in their work and will always communicate effectively with you as the client.
Extensions & Alterations – Extensions and alterations are a fantastic way to add something new and exciting to your current residential property. We specialise in this type of work so you’re in good hands if this is something you’re considering at the moment. You may want to build a garage, add a porch, or have a mega extension, we work on all these types of projects. If you contact residential architects about this then we’d be delighted to discuss your options as we have lots of expertise to find you a cost-effective and ideal solution.
Space Planning – Space planning is vital in getting the most out of your residential space. Based on your requirements, our residential architecture team will offer our best solutions in terms of how we feel the space can best be used. Considerations include things such as lighting, heating, storage and so much more. You can rest assured that we will come up with multiple options and work with you to ensure you’re happy with the proposition.
Conversions – Conversions are truly exciting projects to be a part of. When it comes to residential conversions you can do lots of different things. Some good examples are changing a loft into a bedroom, turning a garage into an extra living space, or even converting an old commercial space such as a mill into a residential space altogether. Once complete, the rewards you reap from taking on a residential conversion are wonderful.
What Is The Process Of Residential Architecture?
1.) A site visit will be arranged to carry out a full survey of your property to include measurements, key features, photos, videos, documentation, and important notes.
2.) This then leads nicely to the next stage where we use all this detail from the survey to create drawings, 3D models, and more depending on which package you’ve chosen.
3.) A full proposal will be submitted to you which you can review and give feedback on in a proper meeting. If you’re happy at this stage and want the build to go ahead, we will work on all the official paperwork involved in getting us closer to receiving planning permission.
4.) We’ll liaise with the appropriate governing bodies until approval has been granted. Once complete, we will then create a solid set of comprehensive drawings that will be issued to your building contractor of choice. They’ll price the work involved and we will continue to hold your hand through the process until work begins on-site.

Excellent work
We asked Tom and his team to assist with our project which was a 2 storey extension. They designed an excellent visualisation which took into account our needs and made excellent use of space to incorporate what we required. He assisted with planning permission and helped the builders achieve the vision. Excellent work and would highly recommend.
