A Collaborative Approach From Design to Construction

We believe that architecture works best when design, structure and construction are considered together. Our role is to develop the architectural design and coordinate with the relevant specialists as the project progresses, ensuring that the different elements of the design are considered as part of a wider process. For our clients, this means having a clear architectural point of contact while benefiting from the expertise of experienced professionals in the areas that sit alongside architectural design.


Whether you are planning a house extension, loft conversion, home renovation, internal alteration or new-build property, we can help you understand which additional professional services may be required and coordinate with the appropriate specialists where necessary. The exact scope of services and responsibilities will be discussed and agreed at the beginning of each project, ensuring that you have a clear understanding of what is included within your architectural appointment and which services are provided by independent specialist consultants.

One Coordinated Team

From the initial architectural concept through to planning, technical development and construction, SMY Architecture works collaboratively with trusted professionals to help bring each project together.


At SMY Architecture, we understand that a successful architectural project often requires input from a range of specialist professionals. While our focus is on the architectural design and development of your project, we work directly with trusted structural engineers and specialist teams to coordinate the additional technical information and drawings required as a project progresses.


Through our established professional relationships, we can work alongside structural engineers and other relevant consultants to help ensure that the architectural design is developed with the necessary technical considerations in mind. This allows us to provide our clients with a more coordinated service, while bringing together the different areas of expertise required to progress a project from design through to construction.


Every project is different, and the specialist input required will depend on the nature, scale and complexity of the proposed works. For example, a house extension, loft conversion, internal alteration or new-build property may require structural calculations, structural drawings, construction details or additional technical information.


Where these services are required, SMY Architecture can coordinate directly with the relevant structural engineer or specialist team, allowing the architectural and structural aspects of the design to be developed alongside one another.


Working With Your Project Team

Depending on the requirements of your project, we can work alongside a range of professionals and contractors, including:

  • Structural engineers
  • Building control professionals
  • Specialist consultants
  • Contractors
  • Construction teams
  • Other technical specialists

Our aim is to make the process as straightforward as possible for our clients by maintaining communication between the different professionals involved.


Where we have previously worked with trusted professionals who are suitable for your project, we can introduce or coordinate with them directly. Alternatively, if you already have your own structural engineer, contractor or specialist consultant, we are happy to work collaboratively with your chosen team.


If you are considering an extension, renovation, loft conversion or new-build project and would like to understand what professional services may be required, get in touch with SMY Architecture to discuss your project.

What customers are saying

I’m really pleased with the service I received from Silan. She helped me with the architectural drawings and planning permission for my rear extension in Harlow, and made the whole process much easier and less stressful. Silan was professional, knowledgeable and very helpful throughout. She listened to what I wanted, explained everything clearly, and was always responsive whenever I had questions or needed advice. The drawings were excellent and the planning process was handled smoothly. I would highly recommend Silan to anyone looking for help with architectural drawings or planning permission. Thank you for all your hard work and support!Read More
