Getting the design right

You will be assigned your own project team who will work with you to turn your ideas into concept designs and drawings for your loft conversion.

We will use our decades of experience in architectural design to suggest the most suitable options for your project, based on your requirements, budget and the survey information from your loft.

Our architectural and structural design teams work side by side, offering a comprehensive and co-ordinated service.

Whilst we work remotely, we offer online screensharing and video calls to discuss your project and you can have unlimited revisions of your drawings until you are happy with them.

Measured Survey

To produce the concept design and planning drawings for loft conversions, we may require a measured survey.

Measured surveys provide key information we need, including:

  • Useable floorspace
  • Head room
  • Pitch of the roof
  • Placement of water tanks and chimneys

You can carry out the survey yourself or we can do it for you, for an additional charge.

Planning application

Your loft conversion project may require planning permission, or it may be completed under permitted development.

We will perform a full check of your project against local and national planning permission advice and rules to determine the type of planning application required.

Planning drawings for your loft conversion will be prepared within 2-3 weeks and we will submit the planning application on your behalf.

CR Design also act as your agent with the council for the duration of the project.

Building control application

Loft conversions need to meet building regulations.

Our fully qualified architects and engineers will have construction details and technical drawings for your loft conversion ready within 2 to 3 weeks.

Like the planning application, we will prepare and submit your building control application and deal with the council on your behalf.

If structural designs (also known as structural calculations) are required, we can also prepare these drawings for your loft conversion and submit them as part of the building control application.

Our packages for loft conversion drawings

We can provide comprehensive drawings for your loft conversion project, as well as technical and structural specifications and expert support for each stage. Our packages cover:

  • Measured survey
  • Concept design & planning application
  • Building control & structural specifications
  • Structural design & calculations

Our design packages are suitable for all types of garage and loft conversion, house extension, renovation and self-build projects.

Frequently asked questions

Building regulations are a set of legal standards and requirements that govern the construction and alteration of buildings in the UK. These regulations aim to ensure that buildings are safe, healthy, accessible, and energy-efficient, and that they meet minimum standards of structural stability, fire safety, and environmental sustainability.

Building regulations apply to most types of building work, including new buildings, extensions, renovations, conversions, and material alterations. They cover a wide range of aspects of construction, including foundations, walls, roofs, windows, doors, ventilation, drainage, electrical installations, and thermal performance.

It is important to follow building regulations in order to ensure that buildings are safe for occupants and visitors, and to minimise the risk of accidents, injuries, or damage to property. Failure to comply with building regulations can result in legal penalties, fines, or even imprisonment, and can also result in problems with insurance, mortgages, and property values.

A Building Control application usually comprises of a set of Building Regulation drawings and a structural design.

Read more about our Building Control & Construction Specifications packages.

After doing our research and speaking with a few different companies, we decided to go with CR Design Services. The ask was to redesign the downstairs space in our Victorian Terrace house. They understood the brief so quickly and challenged us on design options, this was very welcome- saving us money in some areas but telling us to spend it in others. To make sure you get the best end result. We can’t recommend this company enough, the quality of the work and the attention to detail is fantastic. They are also impressive on responding to queries, either the day of or 1 day after - due to the nature of work, you will have a lot of queries. So having a business that actions them so quickly is great. A big thank you to Asal, Chris and the team. We will be using you in the future. Thanks

Excellent experience with CR design - I can 100% recommend their services and would definitely use them again. They helped me navigate the confusing world of planning permission with listed buildings to acheive a successful outcome.

Used CR Design to design a renovation for a bungalow. The firm was very professional. They listened to our ideas and were able to provide a great design as well as help with building regulations. A great service that I would certainly recommend.

10/10 service - would not recommend any other architecture company to this degree. Approached them with 3 weeks notice after being with another architect firm that said the job couldn’t be done / wouldn’t be approved. CR Designs took on the job, drew the plans to what I needed and submitted them to my planning officer. Over the moon to say the plans were granted after a long 6 months of initially submitting my application - thank you so much!

I had a project that was probably quite awkward for the team due to the numerous changes requested. Despite this, the team was very supportive and produced high-quality work.

We needed a revised plan drawn at short notice during lockdown in the middle of a building project. Laura was able to respond quickly, quoted a fixed price, liaised with us to get the information accurate and completed our plans within three weeks. We have now received planning permission and are able to get on with minimum delay. Thank you for your reliable, fast and professional service. We have just received approval for a retrospective plan to complete the above project two years further on and have received the same professional and thoughtfull service from Caroline and her team. Highly recommended.

Most professional organisation and worked to tight timelines, everyone I dealt with were knowledgeable, delivered a high quality service and their work was to an excellent standard. They made excellent suggestions - the team led by Chris with Asal and Caroline were a pleasure to work with. They took my architects high level drawings and created comprehensive building plans to the eco passive house standards that we required. Exemplary!
