Architectural Process Roadmap

Take a look at our Architectural Process Roadmap to help you navigate the journey through your project & explain how the end-to-end approach ensures a smooth transition from Concept to Completion

Enhancing Architectural Design with Virtual Reality

At Plansplus, we leverage Virtual Reality (VR) technology to transform the way architectural designs are experienced. Our immersive VR solutions allow clients and contractors to explore and interact with proposed designs in real-time, enhancing collaboration and decision-making at every stage of the project. 

Real-Time Collaboration & Immersive Experience 

With our real-time VR capabilities, you can: 

  • Step inside your design before construction begins, gaining a true-to-scale perspective of spaces and layouts. 
  • Collaborate seamlessly with clients, contractors, and stakeholders, making informed decisions and modifications in a fully interactive environment. 
  • Identify potential design issues early, reducing costly changes during construction. 
  • Experience material finishes, lighting conditions, and spatial relationships in a way that 2D drawings and standard 3D models cannot convey. 

 Bridging the Gap Between Vision and Reality: Our VR technology ensures that everyone involved in the project shares the same understanding of the design, leading to better communication, fewer misunderstandings, and a more efficient design process. 

Discover how Virtual Reality can bring your architectural vision to life. Contact us today to explore the future of design with immersive VR experiences!

Initial Consultation

At Plansplus, we believe that every successful building project starts with a clear vision. That’s why we offer a free 1-hour consultation to discuss your ideas, needs, and expectations. This meeting allows us to understand your project in detail and provide expert guidance on the next steps.

What We Cover in Your Consultation: Your Vision & Requirements – We discuss your ideas, lifestyle needs, and how you want to use the space. Site & Feasibility Review – A preliminary assessment of the site, constraints, and opportunities. Design Possibilities – Exploring potential layouts, aesthetics, and functional aspects. Planning & Regulations – Guidance on planning permission, permitted development, and compliance requirements. Budget Considerations – Initial discussions on cost expectations and project feasibility. Project Timeline – Understanding key milestones and expected timeframes. Next Steps – Outlining the design process, deliverables, and how we move forward.

This session is a no-obligation opportunity to explore the possibilities and gain valuable insights into your project. Our goal is to provide clarity, confidence, and a solid foundation for the journey ahead.

Feasibility Report

You will receive a preliminary Feasibility Report, based on the information gained from the Initial consultation, assessing the following three elements;

Planning: Our independent Planning Consultant will assess any relevant planning constraints and offer advice as to the most beneficial form of application.

Cost: Our independent Quantity Surveyors will provide a provisional Outline Costing based on the initial proposals.

Build-abilityOur independent Structural Engineers will consider the proposals and offer advice with regard to any relevant construction, geographical and practical constraints, as well as suggestions for alternative forms of construction.

The Feasibility Report is compiled at a very early stage & is intended to provide initial information from which the design parameters of the project will be based.

Draft Schemes

At Plansplus, we use advanced draft modelling techniques, including Virtual Reality (VR), to provide an immersive and interactive design experience. This allows you to engage with your project in a real-time, 3D environment at the early stages of concept design.

How It Works:

Real-Time, Immersive Visualization – Using VR technology, we place you inside your design, offering a true-to-scale experience of spatial layout, material textures, and natural light distribution.

Enhanced Spatial Awareness – Unlike traditional 2D drawings, VR helps you fully understand how spaces feel, function, and flow.

Instant Iterations & Refinements – Changes can be made and visualized immediately, reducing design uncertainty and avoiding costly delays.

Efficient Decision-Making – By experiencing the design first hand, you can make informed choices faster, keeping the project on track and within budget.

This cutting-edge approach ensures a seamless design process, giving you confidence in your project from the outset.

Prepare & Submit Planning Application

At Plansplus, we   versee all aspects of the planning process, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience for our clients. Our expertise covers the following key areas:

Advising on the Most Appropriate Form of Application – We carefully assess each project to determine the most suitable type of planning application, considering factors such as site constraints, policy requirements, and the likelihood of approval.

Producing a Comprehensive Presentation for Compliance – Our team prepares detailed planning statements, design and access statements, and other supporting documents to demonstrate compliance with both local and national planning policies.

Monitoring and Collaborating – with the Planning Authority Throughout the process, we maintain active communication with the local planning authority, responding to queries, addressing concerns, and ensuring timely progress on applications.

Managing Revisions and Additional Requirements – If further information or amendments are needed, we coordinate updates and revisions to maximize the chances of approval while aligning with the client’s objectives.

By managing these critical aspects, Plansplus provides a seamless and professional approach to securing planning permission.

Statutory Legislation

Construction projects are subject to a raft of stautory legislation. It is important that all aspects of your build are fully compliant, to avoid problems which could prove costly & time consuming.

 We monitor all the relvant legislation, regulations & Codes of Practice, to ensure that your project is fully covered & up to date.

Building Regulations Drawings & Specifications

When planning permission has been obtained,  Building  Regulations drawings & specifications will be produced & a Buil;ding Regulations application will be submitted

The approved drawings & specifications will provide the contractor with all the information they need to carry out the construction works.

Tender Documents

You will recieve a set of tender documents & forms needed to enable contractors to submit a quote for the works.
 
This package will comprise all the drawings & specifications, any special requirements & an unpriced Bill of Quantities, to ensure that all tenders are based on the same information.

Contract Administration

Plansplus uses an intergrated project management system which allows all parties to monitor & edit all documents in real time.

In the interst of clarity & transparency, it is reccommended that a contract or form of agreement be drawn up.

A range of forms of contract are available & we would be happy to advise & act as Contract Administrators if required.
