Hayes & Partners

Hayes & Partners are lucky to have a very efficient and effective staff, where each member brings different talents and expertise to the practice. The practice is structured into three teams - feasibility & design, delivery and administration. The overall development of each project is overseen by a Director, who maintains a hands-on involvement through all stages.

If you are considering an architectural project, but are unsure of how to start, Hayes & Partners offer a free-of-charge no-obligation initial consultation. So if you would like to speak to us, please don't hesitate to get in touch - details can be found on our Contacts page.

At our meeting we will discuss your requirements, what you would like to achieve, if you have any inspirations - this is your design brief and will form the basis of our scope of work for the project.Once we have reviewed our scope, we will write to you to outline our fee for design services (in most cases) up to and including the submission of the Planning Application and/or Listed Building Consent.

Many clients initially come to us for advice pre-purchase. Often they are considering buying land to build upon, or property to extend and renovate, but are unsure of the considerations or risks involved with such a project. Hayes & Partners have great experience of working with difficult sites and an excellent track record for achieving planning permission where other architectural practices might have failed.

Once Hayes & Partners have produced survey drawings, we use these as a basis for our design proposals and present sketch options to you. Once you have confirmed a preferred route, we will develop proposals which we will review with you, at which stage it may be necessary to incorporate minor amendments to reflect your requirements.

Once you are happy with your developed design, Hayes & Partners will review the plans, elevations and details with the local planning department and/or conservation officer if we consider this appropriate and, subject to their comments; we will complete the scheme drawings and apply for a Certificate of Lawful Development, or Planning Permission and /or Listed Building Consent.
