Sergio was incredible. So creative and so supportive throughout the process. He created a unique, one of a kind plan that was tailored entirely to what we were trying to achieve. He was also incredibly helpful and knowledgeable in strategising to ensure that we got planning approved More...

Arq design have brilliant creative and stylish ideas. They engaged with us during the whole process, understood our requirements very well, gave us very helpful architecture / planning /design advice and delivered more than we asked for. The standard of craftsmanship is really high. They kept a tidy space while working in our home, and delivered completion on time. Cannot give them high enough praise. More...

I cannot recommend Arq Design enough. They have changed my life! Sergio designed the most beautiful, light and airy loft which I am now enjoying every day. His magical ideas and his eye for detail are unmatched. And unbelievable but true ...he came in ON TIME and IN BUDGET. To top it all, Sergio and his team were such a pleasure to work with - so considerate, communicative, positive and hard-working. I'd choose them before none other if you want an excellent job and an enjoyable experience. More...

Planning applications
I have a successfully secured planning permissions in London and Bristol for over 20 years.
From extensions, to new build I have a solid track record of achieving 95% approval rate for all projects commissioned.
Building control/working drawings
All construction drawings required for Building Control and for builders to be able to prepare accurate quotes for works.
Whether you require a planning application for your project or it falls within the scopes of permitted development guidelines, construction drawings are required.
Project Management
Making sure the work is done as agreed, that there are no unnecessary delays and that it doesn't cost more than it should is vital to any project.
Planning in advance and dealing with the contractors when you have no experience in construction is a sure way to spend more and delay your project.
Landscape Design
With a Masters in Landscape Design I can help you with your project. From deciding about soft and hard landscaping options to helping you to make sure you have the garden you always wanted.
Design Consultancy
If you are looking to buy a property that may need renovating, or you want to add an extension and don't know how much it would cost or what is the best use of the spaces, I can help you make the right decision.
I can check the properties for you and give you feedback on how much potential it has, whether planning permission is required and what would be the value of the property once works are completed. etc.
Feasibility studies
Before embarking on a project you probably would like to know if it's a good idea, affordable and whether planning permission is required.
Any big investment required minimising risks and I have consistently managed to turn derelict properties and brownfield sites into profitable ventures.
