Getting the design right

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.

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.
