Architectural Design Services in Hammersmith and Fulham

Architectural services in Fulham and Hammersmith and Fulham

AC Design Solution provides architectural design, structural engineering, and party wall surveying services across Fulham and the wider Hammersmith and Fulham area. Whether you need building regulation drawings, structural calculations, or party wall support, we provide coordinated input across all three disciplines from a single practice.

The design process for Fulham projects

Every project starts with a feasibility review. We look at what the property can realistically accommodate, what Hammersmith and Fulham planning policy allows, and what the construction implications are likely to be. From there we move into technical design, producing drawings suitable for planning submission and, once approved, for building regulation approval and construction.

Planning applications in Fulham

Fulham planning applications and permitted development

Most house extensions and loft conversions in Fulham require either a planning application or confirmation that the works fall within permitted development. We prepare and submit planning applications to Hammersmith and Fulham Council, including all required drawings, design and access statements, and supporting documentation. Our applications are prepared to a standard that gives your project the best chance of approval first time.

For projects in Fulham Broadway and surrounding streets, we are familiar with the local character requirements and conservation area sensitivities that can influence how Hammersmith and Fulham planning applications are assessed.

Planning permission for extensions in Fulham

Securing planning permission is often the first formal stage of a home extension or loft conversion project. We manage the full submission process, liaising with Hammersmith and Fulham planning officers where needed and responding to any queries raised during the application period.

House extensions and home extensions in Fulham

Extensions in Fulham

Extensions in Fulham typically involve rear extensions, side returns, or wraparound schemes on Victorian and Edwardian terraced properties. We handle the full design process from initial feasibility through to planning permission and building regulation drawings, giving you a coordinated set of documents suitable for tendering and construction.

Extension architecture and technical design

For home extension projects in Fulham, we work closely with a structural engineer — or provide the structural input directly where required — to ensure your extension drawings are fully coordinated before they go to Building Control or your contractor. Our technical design covers everything from construction details and structural elements through to specification notes and compliance with current Building Regulations.

House extension design and feasibility in Fulham

Before any drawings are produced, we assess feasibility — looking at what your property can accommodate, what Fulham planning policy is likely to allow, and what the build implications are. This gives you a realistic picture of your options before you commit to a full design fee.

Building regulation in Fulham

Building regulation drawings in Fulham

Once planning permission is granted, or where works fall within permitted development, building regulation drawings are required before construction can begin. We prepare detailed building regulation drawings for projects in Fulham that meet the requirements of Hammersmith and Fulham Building Control or an approved inspector.

Our drawings cover all necessary technical design information — construction details, specification notes, structural information, and compliance with current Building Regulations — and are suitable for both Building Control submission and use on site by your contractor.

Projects in Fulham

Fulham projects we work on

We regularly take on projects in Fulham Broadway, Parsons Green, Sands End, Munster Village, and Walham Green. Our experience across projects in Fulham means we understand the local housing stock, the planning context, and the construction challenges that come with working on Victorian and Edwardian properties in south-west London.

Projects in Fulham Broadway

We work on a range of residential projects in Fulham Broadway and the surrounding conservation areas. Properties in this part of SW6 often fall within areas where Hammersmith and Fulham planning policy places additional weight on design quality and local character, which is reflected in how we approach both the planning application and technical design stages.

How residential projects typically work in Fulham

Most residential projects in Fulham require coordinated architectural drawings, structural calculations, and Building Regulation approval before construction begins. Depending on the scale and complexity of the works, submissions may be made to Hammersmith and Fulham Council Building Control or an approved inspector.

Fulham is predominantly Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, which brings its own structural considerations — particularly around load-bearing walls, chimney stacks, and existing party wall arrangements. We prepare clear, coordinated drawings and structural calculations that align with Building Control requirements and are suitable for construction, helping to minimise plan-check queries and reduce issues on site.

Transparent pricing

We keep our pricing clear and upfront. Most residential projects in Fulham are offered on a fixed-fee basis, particularly for loft conversions, extensions, structural alterations, and building regulation drawings. Where the scope is less defined — such as early design advice, site meetings, coordination, or ongoing support — work is charged on an hourly basis.

Once you share your postcode, a brief description of the works, and any existing drawings or photos, we’ll confirm the most appropriate fee route and what’s included. For larger or more complex schemes, including refurbishments and projects requiring multi-disciplinary input, we can arrange a consultation visit to properly define the scope before proceeding.

No hidden extras

We don’t add unexpected charges. Our fees are explained clearly from the outset, including what is covered and what would be treated as a variation. This includes site visits, drawing revisions, and liaison with Building Control where applicable. Any third-party costs — such as council fees, planning charges, or specialist reports — are always identified separately so you know exactly where you stand.

Time-sensitive support

If your project is under time pressure — such as a builder waiting on structural information or Building Control raising urgent queries — we can prioritise work where availability allows. We’ll be honest about timescales and tell you exactly what information we need to move quickly and avoid delays on site.

Attention to detail

We focus on producing clear, coordinated drawings that are practical to build from. Our approach is methodical and detail-driven, reducing the risk of on-site confusion, delays, or unnecessary variations. We explain requirements clearly, flag issues early, and give advice you can rely on — without overcomplicating things.

Qualified and insured

All work is carried out by experienced architectural and engineering professionals working to UK standards and regulations. Our architectural technologists hold MCIAT accreditation with CIAT, and we are members of the Institute of Party Wall Surveyors (IPWS). We are fully insured and operate with clear scopes of work, defined deliverables, and professional terms, giving you confidence from the first instruction through to completion.
