Planning a building project and worried about managing everything once work starts?

We can stay involved beyond the design stage and help coordinate the project through construction.

If you'd like to discuss how that could work for your project, send us a message.

Appreciation Post

After having nearly two months off, the main man is back.

Andrew or as he is affectionately known by his mates - Smiler, has been under the weather lately, after having a huge round of chemotherapy that would knock an elephant out.

However he has come through it and is back to work to get some peace and quiet (his words).

It's great to see him back and it's been a tough two months without him. Already he has been cracking jokes and telling me how much he looks like Tony Luke now 🤣

BAD is definitely a better place now that he is back.

Any well wishes would be great and I'll show him on Friday

Thinking about extending your home? 🏡

Sunday evening is often when the plans for “what we could do with the house…” start getting discussed.

Before jumping straight into drawings or speaking to a builder, there are a few things worth considering:

📐 What can realistically be achieved with the space?
🏛️ Will Planning Permission be required?
💷 Does the idea make sense against your likely construction budget?

Getting these things right at the beginning can save a lot of time, redesign work and unexpected cost later in the process.

At Brennan Architectural Design, we can help from the very first ideas, through Planning and Building Regulations, and into the construction stages of a project.

If you’re considering an extension, conversion or development and aren’t sure where to start, feel free to drop us a message.

Surveying on your own is a skill in itself. Tape in one hand, notepad on the other. Pen in my mouth.

It helps that I'm the same height as the door frame fo some measurements 🤣
