Architectural Design

We offer Master Planning comprising of an overarching planning document and spatial layout for land development.

Our documentation visually expresses overall development based on conceptual studies of buildings, spaces around the buildings, flow patterns and connections between

buildings and spaces along with urban design and infrastructure, among other information.

Master Planning services encompass strategic planning at regional scale to small scale groups of buildings.

We plan feasibility studies to investigate to potential use of a site or building.

Feasibility studies look at constraints and opportunities along with any historical information, the site condition, and its significance. We assess potential risks,

limitations along with local and national regulations that can impact the works in developing the site.

Our experienced architectural team have an excellent level of insight, creativity, and ability to provide a comprehensive feasibility study for your future project

Planning encompasses design solutions that will allow a scheme to be produced that is viable and tailored to the brief.

The planning application process is carried out in close liaison with client, the local authority planning department and specialist consultants where necessary to mitigate any measures required as part of development.

Whether you are a home owner, land owner, a business or a developer we tailor our planning service to cater for your requirements to achieve the best possible solution.

We provide Later Living accommodation design from inception to completion.

Projects range from care homes and specialised care facilities, assisting living apartments and individual homes, from small scale developments to housing and apartments within larger developments.

We design apartment schemes for both rental and open market sale.

Apartments can feature as a stand-alone project or form part of a larger development, in both instances apartments form an integral part of the local community and our design team consider this as part of the solutions we provide.

Listed Buildings are protected against unauthorised works and are of special national or historic interest. Any alterations will require Listed Building Consent.

Our full compliment of disciplines will closely work together through every aspect of the design and compliance with legislation.

Architectural Technical Packs comprise of construction information in the form of drawings and specification prepared by our design team to enable projects to go out for Tender and be ultimately constructed on site.

We work predominantly in Autodesk Revit but also AutoCAD should this be your preference. Revit is a powerful piece of Building Information Modelling (BIM) software which enables efficient and precise 3D designs and documentation. It enhances design visualization, aiding in client communication, understanding and decision-making. Additionally, collaboration with structural engineers and suppliers/manufacturers is simplified with the use of Revit. The model can be shared effortlessly, and third-party designs can be produced and incorporated within the same model. In turn, this level of collaboration between design teams streamlines the design to construction workflow by producing detailed construction drawings and schedules directly from the model, saving time and providing ease of information management.

At the technical stage coordination with our in-house design team and external consultants for specialist items, such as precast concrete floors, roof trusses and kitchens is carried out, resolved and delivered ready for Building Control application and approval.

Queensberry Design will submit and oversee the submission process with Building Control to satisfy all regulations for compliance allowing the contractor to liaise with the building control officer for inspections and sign off approvals at each stage of construction.
