Hough Architecture understands that every project is different and as such we can offer individual, tailored products and services to our clients.

However, there are some overall services which can be relevant to most developments. This Includes:

Consultation and a resulting brief, during which our initial meeting includes an in-depth discussion about the project. With our transparent and honest approach, we can help clients understand potential costs.

The next stage usually means we are ready to proceed on this exciting journey, starting with a survey and a Planning Application if needed.

The later stages include creating the correct Contract, finding the Contractors that can handle the project and starting the project on its way.

Other key areas Hough Architecture can fully assist with include Feasibility Studies and Visual Impressions.

Visual Impressions are an effective way of envisioning a client’s proposals using state-of-the-art techniques including 3D models, drawings, scale models, photo montages and more.

Hough Architecture encompasses an overall approach, taking into account the Holmes Chapel area, the heritage and history of the building and the future life of the building in question.

One of the main questions we are asked is how much does it cost?

We used James to design an open space for a kitchen/lounge/diner in our bungalow. With a couple of changes to the drawings James produced just what we wanted. Now our extension is complete we cannot speak highly enough the way James has helped us to achieve our dreams.
