Loft Conversion Drawings in Essex

Achieving the success of your desired house extension requires careful and detailed planning to bring your dream to life. You will need expert architectural drawings and professional guidance to realise this vision.

Krystal Architecture houses skilled architects specialising in loft conversion planning drawings in Essex. Our expertise covers crafting tailored architectural designs, ranging from initial feasibility sketches to thorough construction architectural drawings tailored to the site’s specific requirements.

Advantages of Hiring Professional Architects

Professional architects offer several advantages:

  • They design and strategise ideal extensions.
  • Architects avoid common mistakes and errors in designs.
  • They provide creative solutions to your problems.
  • They optimise space according to your needs.
  • Architects can create a design that suits your specific location.
  • They evaluate the plan’s feasibility, considering space, cost, material, environment and regulations.
  • Building is a lengthy and difficult process; the professional architect will do all the work and make your life easier.

Procedures of Loft Conversion Planning Drawings

We carry out the following procedure for loft conversion planning drawings:

Site Survey:

The site visit is significant for effective project planning, offering a complete property overview. This strategic viewpoint informs decision-making and enhances understanding of the project’s dynamics by providing a clear view from above. It only takes 1-2 hours.

Making Initial Designs:

We will provide the initial versions of your designs within 1-2 weeks, and you are welcome to request any revisions during the design phase.

Submitting Drawings to Local Authorities:

We will handle the complete planning permission process on your behalf, including covering the council fees. Any alteration requested by the planning department will not result in extra charges.

Preparing Drawings and Calculations:

After obtaining approval, we will proceed to create detailed drawings and calculations. These will encompass all structural details, engineering calculations and documentation, ensuring full compliance with building regulations.

Planning Permission for the Loft Conversion

You will need loft conversion planning permission if:

  • The new part of your house would be taller than the highest part of the roof now.
  • The new part sticks out beyond the front of your house and faces the road.
  • The added space in the roof would be much bigger than what you have now: more than 40 cubic meters extra for a terraced house or 50 cubic meters for other houses.
  • Your plans include adding a balcony, veranda, or raised platform or changing chimneys, pipes or vents.
