Whatever the project Tom Frowde Architects can provide services from start to finish. From initial consultations and brief, through designs and planning applications, to administration of building contracts and site supervision, right up to handover and walking through the door of your own finished project and after.
We recognise that your home is your most valuable asset, and that undertaking any building work or project can be a significant investment. We'll use our extensive experience to help you get the most out of your space and make you home truly amazing.
We have extensive experience in the following types of residential projects:
You can see examples on our projects page.
Embarking on a project can be a daunting task and the role an architect plays is not always clear, but even for the smallest of budgets we can help you get the best for your project.
We will start with a free initial consultation, normally at the property, where we can discuss your requirements, budget and feasibility. From the requirements and visiting the site we will be able to raise any obvious design constraints or planning requirements.
Whilst we offer a full service start to finish you can pick and choose which services you need.
Contact us to get started. Visit the RIBA for more information on 'How do I use an architect?'.
We have many years experience acting as Party Wall Surveyors. If a project involves alterations to a shared (party) wall or structure, the construction of new walls on the boundary or excavation work close to neighbouring properties then it is likely that a Party Wall Award will be required by law.
We can act on your behalf and guide you through this process, undertake condition surveys, serve the required notices on the affected properties and prepare the Award.
If you are a building owner, user or managing agent and you are planning to have building works carried out you will be a 'client' under the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 2015. You will therefore have a legal requirement to fulfil certain duties relating to health and safety in connection with the construction project.
Where more than one contractor will be working on your project (whether at the same time or one after another), the regulations require a Principal Designer to be appointed. We can undertake this role, guiding you through the CDM process, coordinating health and safety during the pre-construction phase, and helping you meet your legal obligations.
Since April 2015, domestic projects, including home extensions and renovations, have also fallen under the remit of the CDM Regulations.
