Our Architectural Services in more detail
Grumitt Wade offers a number of Architectural services for residential and commercial properties.
Architectural & Design Services
We offer a full design service for any changes to a property. We look to interpret and develop clients’ requirements on design ideas, whether it be a new contemporary home or sympathetic alterations to a period house. We are extremely experienced in obtaining Planning Permission, Listed Building Consent and Building Regulation Approval.
Loft Conversions
On a regular basis we produce plans for loft conversions. This includes submitting for Planning Permission, arranging a Structural Engineer and obtaining Building Regulation Approval. There are various requirements stipulated by the local authority before a loft conversion can be done, including locations of roof lights, floor joist sizes and head room. We have a vast amount of experience in this area and will certainly be happy to advise on what is possible.
Measured Survey
A Measured Survey involves taking the measurements of a building in order to prepare accurate scale drawings. The level of detail depends on the purpose for which the drawings are intended and their scale and detail needs to be agreed between the parties beforehand.
Contract Administration
On any size building works, we can write specifications, tender to contractors we use on a regular basis, write a tender report, instruct a contractor, produce contracts for signing, carry out periodic site visits during the project, certify interim payments, sign works off and agree the final account. Contract Administration is used on various types of contract, including maintenance works, extensions, new build and internal refurbishments. We have found that clients find this a less stressful way of organising building works.
Advice on Repairs and Maintenance
We are able to inspect defects and maintenance issues to both private and commercial properties. This can include general decoration, window replacement, roof renewal, penetrating/rising dampness issues, cracks to walls and wall tie failure. We are able to discuss any building issue, provide advice, write defects reports, and/or carry out contract administration for any essential repairs and maintenance.
