David Humphreys Ltd

Chartered surveyors, planning and architectural consultants

Now’s a great time to plan changes to your personal working and living space!

 As the building industry ; associated supply chains; and planning and building regulation authorities are tentatively returning to work, now is a great time to think about future development in your home or work environment.  During lockdown you may well have had time to re-think your needs relating to personal space.  Does your home need to adapt to accommodate working from home and new demands on family life?  Does your workplace need to change? Recent years have seen a boom in co-working spaces but companies may now need to emphasise personal working space; density in offices, shops, bars and factories; spacious and contactless communal spaces as well as practical concerns such as more ventilation, openable windows etc. Plans for new constructions or changes to existing buildings, tend to typically take between 1 and 6 months to be drawn up and approved by the relevant authorities - so now is the time to get planning!

We offer a Free Initial Site Visit to discuss your requirements:

We listen to what you want and give advice on how this can be achieved.  From there we offer competitive fixed fees with no hidden costs. We offer a complete service from initial consultation and feasibility; design options; and making planning and building regulation applications;

to assistance with appointing contractors and technical support on site if required.
