Developing or extending our home may be the largest single investment made in a lifetime and it is essential to avoid the many pitfalls of development to achieve a successful and valuable outcome.
We recognise that the approach required for private domestic projects differs significantly from that for business and have structured the services provided by Studio Cass accordingly, whilst being able to call on the experience of over 30 years in practice and 1000 completed projects.
To simply the process for clients we are able to offer a full one-stop-shop service if required utilising the services of our talented in-house specialists – incorporating not only architectural design and project management services but also expert planning guidance, landscape architecture and ecology services, depending on the needs of individual clients.
Richard Roberts is a registrant on the RIBA Conservation Register of architects suitably qualified to work on historic buildings.
Our initial consultation is always without charge or obligation and we will always confirm in writing the services and associated fees agreed with you before proceeding.
