Step-by-Step: Plan Your Dream Renovation Online

Starting your home upgrade doesn't have to be overwhelming.

Grab Your Tape Measure (or Use Your Phone!) Start by measuring the space you'd like to renovate. You can even download a quick scan app to help—technology is amazing, right?

Share Your Ideas Online Pop your measurements into a floor planner or send them our way. Then tell us what you want—more space, better light, a modern kitchen? We’ll turn those ideas into something real.

Pick Your Style Browse mood boards (Pinterest is great!), save images you love, or just tell us in your own words—we’re great listeners. Do you like cozy and rustic or sleek and modern? We’ll match your vibe.

Collaborate & See Your Progress Using secure portals and 3D previews, we keep everything open and easy to follow. You’ll be able to see drafts, suggest tweaks, and watch your dream take shape—no more waiting six weeks for a single sketch!

Get Ready for the Next Steps When your design is ready, you’ll get clear, council-friendly drawings in standard formats like PDF and DWG—perfect for builders, planning offices, or just showing off to friends.

And remember: you’re in control. Every change, every idea, every "wait, can we move that window?" is welcome. We’re here to listen.

Your Questions, Answered With a Smile

Still a few things on your mind? We’ve heard it all—here are the big ones:

Are online house plans actually accepted by UK councils? You bet! As long as your plans are created by qualified designers (like ours!), councils accept them gladly. We include all needed details—dimensions, materials, structural notes—so your submission sails through.

Do I need planning permission? It depends! Many smaller projects (like single-storey extensions or loft conversions) fall under "permitted development," so you’re good to go. We’ll help you check your eligibility based on your location and project type.

How long will it take to get my drawings? Typically 4–8 weeks. Simpler projects move faster. We’ll keep you updated the whole way through.

What format will I get my plans in? You’ll receive PDFs for easy sharing, DWG files for builders and engineers, and high-res images of your elevations. Need something else? Just ask!

Can you help me talk to my builder? While we don’t speak to builders directly, we give you fully detailed, construction-ready plans—so your builder will thank you!
