Pricing

Start with a fixed price survey. Decide on design once you have the facts.

The Measured Project Survey costs £149 including VAT for properties of three bedrooms or fewer, and £249 including VAT for properties of four bedrooms or more. If you go on to use our design service, the survey fee is credited in full against the design fee. A design fee is typically around £2,000, with the exact scope and figure confirmed in writing after the survey.

What moves the design fee

The design fee is confirmed in writing after the survey, once your project is understood. A few things move it more than anything else, and none of them are a mystery.

The size of the property and the scale of what you want to do
How involved the planning route is, from a straightforward application to a conservation area or a listed building
How much structural input the project needs
The number of drawings the project calls for

Costs that sit outside our fees

Some costs are set by other people, not by us. We will always tell you where these apply to your project, so there are no surprises.

Local authority planning application fees
Building control fees
Specialist consultants, where a project needs them, such as arboricultural or drainage reports
Party wall surveyors, where a project needs them
