You’ve got a vision — an extension, a loft conversion, maybe a full house revamp. But before you can build it, you need proper planning drawings that your council will approve and your builder can actually work from.
That’s where we come in.

No tape measures. No handheld lasers. We use LiDAR scanning technology — the same used in self-driving cars — to capture your home with millimetre precision. That means zero guesswork, zero stress, and a perfect foundation for your plans.
We turn your scan into ultra-precise, council-ready drawings — typically within 10 working days. The level of accuracy we provide is unrivalled by most traditional methods.
Our agents manage the entire application process — from submission to decision. We deal with the council on your behalf, so you don’t have to chase updates, respond to queries, or deal with any of the stress.
