Services
From the first time you contact us, we will do our best to ensure you have as much information as possible to make your decision. We are happy to discuss your requirements over the phone or by email, however we recommend a meeting where we will visit you at your home, site or building to be altered.
Should I approach builders first before obtaining planning permission and building warrant approval? Most builders will be unable to provide you with anything more than a very rough estimate without seeing any drawings. This is the main reason you should have plans drawn up first.
Another important factor is that a builder may not be aware of an existing piece of structure which could require alteration and therefore have an effect on the overall costs.Having a full set of drawings will allow you to send them out to several builders and let you compare the quotes. That depends on what you perceive as 'expensive'.

We were told about Alistair by a friend who had also been very impressed by the service he provided. Alistair listened to what it was we were looking to do, gave some very valuable advice on some things that simply wouldn't have been appropriate or possible to our house and came back with our completed plans extremely quickly. He was also a superb point of knowledge for building warrants etc and saw our application through smoothly. Couldn't recommend Alcon Design highly enough.

We found Alistair to be extremely talented and professional. I would strongly recommend Alcon Design services. He was very thorough and had great attention to detail. He helped us hugely with the designs for our extension as well as guided us through all of the Planning and Building Regulation requirements. He also helped us find a builder and negotiate a good price, ensuring that our project was finished to a very high standard and on budget. I would definitely work with Alistair again.
