Our Services & Pricing

Professional planning and building regulations drawings at a sensible price point.

At Draw & Plan, we provide accurate, policy-checked, construction-ready drawings without the inflated costs of traditional architecture firms or the risks of ultra-cheap online plan services. All drawings are personally done by the director, not delegated or outsourced, which assures quality without overheads.

How planning permission and building regulations work

In the UK, home improvements are controlled by two separate systems: planning and building regulations. Planning looks at whether you are allowed to build something and how it affects neighbours and the street, while building regulations focus on how it is built safely and correctly.

Some works need full planning permission, but many common projects (such as extensions or loft conversions) fall under Permitted Development rules—these do not require planning permission, although we often recommend a Lawful Development Certificate as formal proof for peace of mind and future property sales.

Building regulations approval is still required for most structural work, regardless of planning status. This involves detailed technical drawings, calculations from a structural engineer, and inspections by Building Control (a council inspector or approved inspector) during construction to ensure the work meets safety and performance standards.

What Makes Our Drawings Better?

• Planning policy reviewed before quoting

• 3D laser scanning as standard

• Detailed planning and Building Regulations drawings

• Full written specifications

• Wall, floor, roof etc. details included

• Drainage layouts where required

• Structural engineer visits site for detailed cost-efficient structural design

• The smart middle choice between cheap online plans and expensive architecture firms

Optional Extras

Structural Engineer

We work with an independent structural engineer who attends site (only within Greater London) to ensure:

  • Correct steel sizing

  • Reduced material cost

  • Practical buildability

  • On-site advice during critical stages

This is far superior to remote calculations included by cheap plans providers.

Measured Surveys

We use high-accuracy 3D laser scanning, ensuring every dimension is correct before drawings are produced.

This avoids costly errors later, especially when producing Building Regulations drawings.

Builders

We can refer you to vetted builders with whom we have collaborated for many years if your project is in Greater London
