The Process

Tom Withers Architecture follows a proven and streamlined process for house extensions and offering architectural services. Here is our process;-

Initial Consultation – TWA offers a FREE no-obligation consultation allowing us to get to know each other and to understand your requirements before formulating a detailed client brief. We’ll take the time to understand your exact reasons for a house extension so that we can tailor our planning and designs around your preferences.
Property Visit – Upon confirmation of the project, we will take the time to visit your property and take the measurements required. This will formulate the data and information needed for us to draw up the plans for your house extension.
House Extension Proposal – At this stage, our house extension architecture team will proceed to work on your tailored proposal based on the information gathered in the previous two stages of the process. Here, you also have the option to opt in for a 3D package which will enable you to better visualise exactly how your house extension will appear in real life.
Presentation – After we have submitted your bespoke proposal, we will arrange to meet you in person to discuss all the 3D packages and drawings proposed. During this meeting, we’ll also discuss specifics such as materials to ensure we are meeting your unique brief at every angle.
Planning Permissions – Once we have agreed on full confirmation of the design and concept for your house extension, the next stage will be identifying if planning permission is required. If it is, you can count on Tom Withers Architecture to liaise with your local authority to accelerate the planning permission application and significantly increase your chances of approval.
Design & Build – Once planning permission has been approved – if necessary – our team of expert house extension architecture team will proceed to develop your design into a set of construction drawings before passing them over to your chosen contractors.
