What we do
Our three stage process takes you from your initial design brief through to your completed project.
Stage 1
The Creation Pack is a feasibility study that provides a bespoke concept design that includes; 3D visualisations, planning searches, a measured survey, existing drawings and proposed design. It also provides a build cost outline, project timeline & checklist.
Learn MoreStage 2
The Home Design Pack develops the design in greater detail enabling you to make important decisions for your dream home. We finalise your drawings, manage the planning process and focus upon the layout design and product specification in more detail.
Learn MoreStage 3
The Construction Pack contains detailed technical drawings. We will integrate the structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing elements into the technical & construction set drawings. We will provide build costs, tender management & onsite project support.
Learn More* Onsite project support is one of the most important aspects of your project. We will work with you and your chosen contractor to facilitate the construction phase of your project, including: contract administration, on site visits, timeline management and drawing updates. This ensures that the transition from design to the completed project runs as smoothly as possible.
The levels of support required can depend upon the complexity of the project, your experience of building works and your work commitments.
Why Model Projects
OUR PASSION
Creating a beautiful home is an aspiration for most families. Whether you live in an apartment, a semi detached, a detached, modern or traditional house, you will require your home to live and grow with you, and meet your needs and ambitions. Your home is where you live, bring up your family, socialise with friends, and enjoy the spaces you live in.
OUR APPROACH
At Model Projects we focus on bringing your project to life before you start onsite. Visualising all aspects of your project from the space, appearance, style and cost. Our approach is delivering unique, exceptional design that focuses on space and light, through a sustainable approach to design. Running alongside the design of your home we review the key build cost, project metrics and timeline.
Supporting Services
We offer a range of supporting services. These services run alongside the production of the drawings and are there to ensure all of your project requirements are met, eg: build over agreements, ecology reports, flood risk assessments, etc.. As part of the supporting services, we can obtain quotes from Structural Engineers and Building Control.
We would recommend Services A- D are undertaken during Home Design Pack (Stage 2) and Service E is undertaken during Construction Pack (Stage 3) to allow your project timeline to run smoothly.
A. Additional Applications - Depending upon the type and complexity of your planning application, further information may be required to be submitted alongside the normal drawings and documentation that Model Projects would prepare and issue. This additional information may require third party professionals, for example Ecology reports to Flood Risk Assessments.
B. Party Wall - The Party Wall process is unavoidable if you are building close to, or on a boundary shared with, a neighbouring property and you may require a particular award or notice signed by all related property owners, in order to begin building. The Party Wall Act of 1996 provides a framework for preventing or resolving disputes in relation to party walls, party structure, boundary walls and excavations near neighbouring buildings.
C. Utilities Application - During the process of your home renovation there are often utilities, such as water, gas or electricity, which may need upgrading and some parts of the building may affect existing utilities. Some renovation projects may also affect public amenities and highways.
D. Structural Design - Following your finalised design and approved planning application, we will send your detailed drawings to our third party Structural Engineers for them to provide quotations. Most projects will require a Structural Engineer as they calculate, strength and rigidity of the building structure. They are on hand to answer any questions or concerns and ensure the structure of your home is designed safely.
E. Building Control - Building regulations apply to most building work. In managing your building control application process and engaging with companies we have used on numerous projects, we can respond to any questions which may arise from the inspecting body and accurately manage the ‘full plan check’ prior to commencing on site, as well as site inspections. This ensures that all of the relevant information is passed on and you receive your certificate upon completion.

New Build Projects
At Model Projects we also design houses from scratch! If you have a plot of land, or if you are looking to replace a current house with a new build, then we can help you through the process, taking you from design to completion.
We follow the same three stage process for a new build house or if you are looking to convert a barn.
