Proudly Serving Homeowners Across Sussex and Surrey
A Different Standard of Design for House Refurbishment in Sussex and Surrey
3D Visualisations Included
Every house refurbishment project is modelled in Revit and rendered in Enscape. You see accurate light, materials and spatial quality before a planning application goes in.
Faster Planning Submissions
Drawings produced in a coordinated 3D environment are more complete and less prone to officer queries, which keeps your house refurbishment timeline on track.
Local Planning Knowledge
ArchEvolve has submitted house refurbishment applications across West Sussex, East Sussex and Surrey planning authorities. Your submission is prepared for the specific council from day one.
End-to-End Service
From feasibility through to construction drawings, Alex Page manages every stage of your house refurbishment project personally. No handoffs, no junior staff taking over mid-project.
House Refurbishment Design Across Sussex and Surrey
Internal refurbishment work generally does not require planning permission unless it involves external alterations, structural openings affecting a listed building, or changes to the property’s external appearance. ArchEvolve confirms your specific requirements at the free initial consultation.
Yes, for most structural work, rewiring, replumbing and thermal upgrades. The scope of Building Regulations depends on how extensive the refurbishment is, and ArchEvolve prepares the full package as part of the service.
Design fees depend on the scale of the refurbishment and whether structural, mechanical and electrical coordination is required throughout. ArchEvolve agrees a fixed-scope fee in writing before work begins. Our guide to adding value to your home is a useful starting point for planning your budget.
Yes. Many clients refurbish in stages for budget or living arrangement reasons. ArchEvolve designs the whole scheme up front so each phase is coordinated with the next, rather than designing phase by phase and creating conflicts later.
The service covers existing condition survey, whole-house concept design in Revit, planning application where needed, full Building Regulations drawings, and construction drawings for your contractor to price and build from.
Yes. Where a property is listed, this work is handled through our dedicated listed building design service, which addresses Listed Building Consent alongside the refurbishment design.
ArchEvolve covers West Sussex, East Sussex and Surrey, including Worthing, Horsham, Chichester, Crawley, Guildford and Brighton, with a free initial consultation offered throughout the region.
