our services
Building projects are exciting, but they also come with complexity. Whether you’re converting a property, planning a new home, or developing, commercial premises, etc Design Ltd is here to guide you through every stage with clarity and confidence.
We combine creative architectural thinking with technical expertise to deliver designs that meet both your vision and the legal requirements—such as planning permission and building regulation approval. From the very beginning, our aim is to simplify the process, reduce stress, and save you valuable time.
As qualified Architects and Designers, we offer full or partial services from feasibility through to handover, as outlined in the RIBA Plan of Work stages 0–7. We collaborate with you to determine the appropriate level of service depending on your project needs, and we can be appointed in a range of roles: Architect/Consultant, Lead Designer, Project Lead, or Contract Administrator.
In addition, we offer a Principal Designer service under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM Regulations). This role is crucial in planning, managing, and monitoring health and safety during the pre-construction phase. We work alongside your contractors and consultants to identify and reduce risks, creating a safer and more compliant build.
We can also undertake the role of Principal Designer under the Building Regulation 2010 (as amended by the Building Regulations etc. (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2023).
We recommend appointing a Principal Designer under CDM and Building Regulations as early as possible. However, this must be done before construction begins (for non-HRBs) or before submitting a building regulations application to the Regulator for Higher-Risk Buildings (HRBs).
If you’re planning a project and want expert guidance from day one, get in touch with our team – we’ll help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and compliance.
