Yes of course. We can look after the whole process for you, and at the end just give you one package with all the relevant documentation that you will require to start construction. This is very normal from our end, and we like to complete all of the works for you, as we know that nothing will be left out that may slow down construction at a later stage.

No problem. If you would like to use our team for only one of the stages, then that is OK. We have completed many town planning applications for builders who have their own in-house team to complete the working drawings. Likewise, we have completed working drawings for clients that have used someone else to complete their town planning drawings. We are simple. Either way for us, it is no problem.
