Design: Architectural Building Design

We develop practical concept designs and manage the entire planning application process for our customers.

Concepts

The concept design phase lays the base for turning your vision into reality. Once we understand your needs, we create the necessary drawings for planning permission, including accurate dimensions and key details to meet all requirements.
This phase is key for balancing your creative vision with practical feasibility. At Carnegie Group, we work closely with you to ensure the design aligns with your goals while remaining achievable. We handle the entire process, allowing you to focus on your broader objectives while keeping your project practical and compliant.

Planning Drawings

Once the concept design is finalised, we assemble it into a full planning application. This package includes precise construction plans, detailed 2D and 3D drawings, and professional statements that capture the specifics of your project, including existing site conditions and the proposed development.
Every aspect of the planning process is handled by our team – from preparing and submitting the necessary documentation, to liaising with local authorities on your behalf. We ensure that all drawings and plans meet the required regulations, while providing ongoing support to address any queries or concerns that arise along the way.

Planning Surveys

Often, planning approval comes with conditions. These include requirements such as environmental and ecological surveys, design and access statements, and sustainability assessments. Below are some examples. Please contact us for the comprehensive list:

  • Air Quality Assessment
  • Heritage Reports
  • Sustainability Measures
  • Water Neutrality Report
  • Transport Assessments
  • Biodiversity Reports
  • BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method)

We don’t leave you to navigate these complexities alone. Our experts coordinate with specialist consultants and surveyors to satisfy all outstanding conditions. Once all conditions are met and verified, planning permission is secured, setting your project on the path to success.
Carnegie Group® has a strong understanding of the planning application processes and regulations, ensuring every step is handled efficiently and correctly.
