It’s important to understand what we’re working with. You may have owned, lived or worked in your property for years and you probably know it inside out. Measuring and drawing up the existing plans and elevations may not be sexy but it is an essential part of us getting to know your property and to preparing a considered design solution. We need to get a good understanding of what we’re working with to help us get to the best design solution. For example, as we measure up, it may become apparent that ceiling heights between rooms may vary, which may not be obvious to the naked eye, but may have an impact on the position of a steel beam or the layout of the room. A basic measured survey provides a sound starting block from which we can then design the new configuration, conversion or extension.

For those who enjoy a little ‘further reading’… Rather than a typical blog, this seemed like a good place to tell you a bit about how we work and to answer a few common queries about using an architect (…an informal FAQ page, if you like). You can use the ‘Featured Post’ list to help find topics of interest. You can also follow us on twitter @drawingroomltd
