A Chartered Architectural Technologist designs more than just a building or extension. The design process is about creating a living / working space tailor made to your personal requirements.

Why use Damien James Design?

Whatever the project you are considering whether it is an extension, single house or large housing development, the expertise of a Chartered Architectural Technologist is invaluable to you throughout the Planning Application and Building Control Application stages particularly.

We can assist you in reducing building costs, look at making your home energy efficient and increasing the resale value of your property. We may also be able to suggest options that you may not have considered and can certainly assist you in getting the most for your money!

We also can help oversee the smooth running of your construction work and deal with contractors, which can prove to be highly beneficial. Any issues that might arise during building works can be dealt with competently and professionally, whilst taking the project through to practical completion.

How can we help?

Damien James Design provides a full scope of Architectural Services from the initial and inception stages of a project, through design and space planning, construction detailing, preparing tender information, contract administration and the site related stages including council of mortgage lenders certification services.

Whether you are a home owner, property developer, or organisation, Damien James Design provides a comprehensive service tailored to your individual needs.

How does it work?

1
We arrange a convenient time to meet at your home/site and can provide a consultation to discuss your project and assess your needs.
2
We can then agree a project brief. This can include identifying possible options, expenditure limits and a timescale for the completion of the works.
3
A preliminary feasibility study based upon your brief may be required and may involve:
  • Pre planning application meeting with the planning officer to discuss your proposals and to try and identify any issues they may have regarding the project;
  • Consideration whether your brief can be implemented within your budget limits;
  • Advice and recommendations upon any site investigations or tests that may be required, for example, to establish the ground conditions at your property;
  • The need to involve other professionals to undertake these investigations or tests, or indeed to provide other specialist services for your project
  • Advise whether any statutory approvals may be required before works commence.
4
Following this, we should then have sufficient information to prepare a fee proposal for the required services for your consideration.

"I was delighted with the efficient, friendly and professional service provided. It was very easy to discuss and exchange ideas with Damien.

There were a number of difficulties with the renovation, but he was able to solve them.

I am so pleased with the result, far better than I'd ever imagined, and would have no hesitation in recommending Damien James Design - in fact I already have."

R.H.D. Douglas

“Damien helped us to make the very best use of a redundant and unsightly part of our house. His design for a new bedroom, bathroom and utility room fulfilled our needs exactly.

Now it has been built we can really see the value of having an experienced designer working on the project.

The service was excellent, removing all the complications of the planning process.”

Mr Williams, Colby
