Start with the building as it stands
Houses are often altered over the years. Before designing a new wing or loft, we measure every floor and draw the existing plans to scale. The new design is then drawn over a record you can trust.
The measured building survey service page covers what the plans include.
Price
From £200, as a fixed fee. Our pricing covers the next stage.

Conservation areas and the HA7 streets
Harrow is listed with 31 conservation-area entries on the national register (our analysis of MHCLG Planning Data Platform conservation-area and article-4-direction datasets, bulk snapshot retrieved 19 October 2026). A register count says nothing about your road, so check Harrow's conservation area map or ask the council before you plan alterations to the front of the house.
