Hampstead Chartered Surveyors & Building Consultancy includes in-house architectural capability, providing design input directly alongside our building surveying, fire safety and project advisory services.
This means clients instructing the practice for cladding remediation, major works, refurbishment or development projects can access architectural design, CDM Principal Designer duties and Building Regulations coordination under the same appointment — without the need for a separate architectural practice.
This service is for clients who need architectural design input as part of a wider building consultancy instruction, whether for cladding remediation, major works, refurbishment or development projects.
Our in-house architectural team delivers facade design, statutory CDM duties, regulatory coordination and planning support as part of your single appointment with the practice.

Coordination across Part B (fire safety), Part L (thermal performance), Part E (acoustics) and other relevant Approved Documents. One architect managing compliance across all regulatory requirements.
Where facade changes materially affect building appearance, or where the building is in a conservation area or is listed, our architect manages planning applications, listed building consent applications and related consents.
Early-stage assessment of whether proposed works are architecturally and technically achievable, supporting pre-application submissions and client decision-making.
