Architectural Design Preston

If you are thinking of refurbishing your home, develop an existing property, update your business premises or build a whole new home, our architectural design services will make the whole journey uncomplicated and hassle-free.

Whether you are a serial renovator, entrepreneur, skilled builder or construction company we can offer you a comprehensive range of architectural design Preston, Lancashire and beyond.

Whatever your ideas are we are able to see you through the whole process from concept to the finished build.

Concept

You have a lot of ideas and will wonder what is it going to cost. So rather than run up unwanted outgoings on drawings and plans our architectural team in Preston would be able to road-test your project.

We will take all your ideas and sketch out a few initial concepts and run you through everything that's involved in getting your ideas to the next stage.

We consider this concept stage to be of the utmost importance as it will save you time going forward and reduce the cost of your project.

Plans

Once you are agreed with the concept we can then move onto developing more detailed design and scale plans, this will accompany a full design and building budget.

Our team of architectural experts can even provide you with a 3D or CGI visualisations which will not only let you see how your project may look at completion but will also allow us to make any last design modifications.

Build

Once you are completely satisfied with the concept and technical plans and drawings we can then obtain building costings from our selected contractors and organise any legal contracts and documents required.

And should you wish to carry out the construction and manage any works yourself you may wish to use our project management services to ensure all aspects of the build are carried out to the highest possible standards as well as being on-time and on budget.

Range of Architectural Services

Our architectural design Preston service covers a wide range of concepts including commercial and house remodelling, new home builds, barn conversions, extensions and listed buildings and conservation projects.

Commercial Remodelling & Refurbishments

One of our main specialities at Carters in commercial remodelling. One of our great joys is remodelling and restyling all types of commercial premises from offices to hotels.

There are many reasons why remodelling your current business premises is an ideal solution to a number of issues including going greener, better use of space, creating better impressions, attracting the right employees, improve productivity and save on energy costs.

CGI, Visualisations & Animated Fly Through

Carters Building Consultants is a dynamic and leading team of professionals, experienced in various aspects of design, 3D modelling and rendering.

Our work methods are focused on realism, being exact with the little details and clear rules, providing our clients constant and high-quality results.

We always keep looking for innovative technologies and develop further techniques to offer the most up-to-date illustrations and designs.

We provide rendering and visualization services globally and we have a representation or offices in these markets.

Barn Conversions

Barn conversations are a particular pleasure for Carter’s Building Consultancy - probably why our offices are in one. They show an interest in society and create an opportunity to respect history and the landscape whilst embedding the characteristics of modern living.

Changing the use of any building provides many challenges and an equal number of opportunities. Historic buildings particularly require careful consideration to retain their unique features while creating functional and efficient spaces.

The benefits of a barn conversion are obvious - vaulted ceilings, large open spaces and panoramic views of beautiful countryside. The interior sense of space in barns makes contemporary open plan living particularly pleasing, especially when there are punctuations of period features.

New Build Bespoke Homes Preston

Imagine a breath-taking new build bespoke home that’s been designed, crafted and constructed to your own specifications, right down to the very last detail.

Our architectural design Preston services can make it possible, designing your dream home and make it a reality. We have an unrivalled reputation for building magnificent, one-of-a-kind custom homes that combine classic elegance with the finest contemporary materials.

Commercial New Builds

Since our inception in 2016, we have created numerous commercial new builds from new Headquarter offices, new warehouses and retail units across the UK.

We have obtained many commercial new build planning permissions, utilising our in-house planning expertise and our projects incorporate brownfield, green belt, Greenfield, infill, replacement and open countryside.

Bungalow Extensions & House Remodelling

Bungalow extensions are one of the most underestimated but exciting architectural challenges. Their appeal is now much broader than the historically dominant retired market and large plots offer many exciting possibilities. Smaller extension possibilities can still yield transformational results.

The growth in apartment living means many customers are drawn to all habitable rooms being on one level and easy access to garden spaces. Bungalow extensions often create a Tardis-like experience with vaulted ceilings and use of glass that create a sense of theatre to shock the visitor when entering from an unassuming front elevation.

Garden Rooms

Garden rooms are similar to conservatories in many ways but they are generally far more substantial with full height pillars and roofs incorporating lanterns to increase the sense of space and light. They appear more architecturally intended and less ‘stuck on’.

They blur the edges between inside and outside living and offer an excellent family room and kitchen and dining possibilities. Aspect is a particularly important consideration - an incorrectly sited garden room can be a greenhouse in summer and glacier in winter.

Green Belt

Extending houses or replacing a property in the Green Belt is covered by some specific legislation and The National Policy Framework (NPPF).

The government attaches great importance to Green Belts and the fundamental aim of the policy is to prevent urban sprawl by keeping land permanently open. The essential characteristics of green belts are their openness and their permanence.

Self Build Homes

Self Build Homes are Carters speciality and passion. Since our inception in 2016, we have created numerous self build homes across the UK, with a range of scales from small affordable through to high-end super homes.
We have obtained many self build homes planning permissions, utilising out in-house planning expertise and our projects incorporate backland, white belt, brownfield, green belt, Greenfield, infill, replacement, open countryside and Paragraph 55/ 79 self build homes among others.
