Architectural services tailored to your needs

For those wanting a quick and informal steer on how to make their property more energy efficient, improve ventilation, convert to electric forms of heating or assess what options there are for renewable energy harnessing systems (ie. solar panels), Deeper Green offer an Eco-Retrofit Consultation Visit. 

To pinpoint the relative merits of individual eco-interventions in your property in terms of an estimate of investment cost relative to energy saving potential, Deeper Green offer an Eco-Retrofit Scoping Study. Few building owners can afford or financially justify a ‘deep eco-retrofit’ so this service offering has been developed to model a range of potential interventions to reveal the most sensible short-listed range of works.

As a RIBA registered practice of architecture, our architectural services are based on the RIBA’s Plan of Work. Deeper Green’s ‘Partial’ Architectural Services, are typically used on smaller projects which might commence with an initial Feasibility Study, through to obtaining statutory approvals (ie. Planning and Building Control) and might culminate in a Design Intent Package which a client can then use to obtain builder’s quotes from.

As a RIBA registered practice of architecture, our architectural services are based on the RIBA’s Plan of Work. Deeper Green’s Full Architectural Services, are typically used on larger and/more complex projects which might commence with an initial Feasibility Study, through to obtaining statutory approvals (ie. Planning and Building Control), preparation of Tender Documents, facilitating a tender for a building contractor, administration of a building contract, periodic site inspections, presiding over the Practical Completion and determining the Final Account.

In accordance with The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, Part 2A of the Building Regulation 2010 and the Building Safety Act 2022, most construction projects will need to have a Principal Designer (PD) appointed to plan, manage, monitor and coordinate health and safety in a building project. Although clients can appoint a third-party consultant to perform this role, it is seen as best practice for the architect to serve as the PD.
