From LiDAR survey to planning submission, we create council-ready architectural plans for extensions, lofts, and new builds across Essex — with zero stress and clear communication from start to finish.
From LiDAR survey to planning submission, we create council-ready architectural plans for extensions, lofts, and new builds across Essex — with zero stress and clear communication from start to finish.
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.
If you’re searching for an architect in Essex, you’ve found the next best thing — and in many ways, better.
At SurvDesign, we provide planning-ready architectural drawings for home extensions, loft conversions, new builds and refurbishments across Essex. We don’t just design — we handle surveys, drawings, council paperwork and approvals, all under one roof.
Our team combines architectural design expertise with a surveying background — so we’re not just creative, we’re practical. We speak “council,” we know the Essex planning departments, and we deliver drawings that actually get approved.

We’re not “high-end design house” architects. We’re practical professionals who get your project moving.
We’ve worked in Chelmsford, Brentwood, Colchester, Southend, Billericay, Thurrock — if it’s in Essex, we’ve probably got drawings in that postcode.
SurvDesign may be the new name, but the same reliable team is here — just sharper, faster, and even easier to work with.
