Are you interested in building a green home or renovating and extending your current home in an environmentally friendly way? In addition to award-winning eco homes, we also design environmentally friendly commercial & industrial buildings. We are based in the Northern Ireland countryside and the travel distance to your site is not a problem. We can design buildings for wherever you are.
Some of the most serious challenges facing our planet and the human race, such as climate change, pollution and the waste of precious resources can be addressed by changing our thinking on how we construct and operate our buildings.
A house designed to meet the actual needs of a modern family can be designed more economically than many people think possible and the money saved can be put to better use in building a house with character and beauty which is more energy efficient and uses less raw materials in its construction.We can design your home to achieve the highest performance ratings.
A beautiful building is going to be more eco-friendly in the long term, since it will be more likely that future owners will want to preserve it and - maybe sometime in the distant future will eventually re-model it instead of resorting to demolition.

Getting a survey is a good way to avoid the stress and cost of making repairs further down the line.
Only one in five home-buyers bother with a professional property report, so it's no surprise that many are hit with repair bills once they move in.
Often, sellers of sub-standard property rely on attracting buyers who don't want the expense of a survey; and there are many horror stories about buyers or their advisors not noticing structural defects until after the purchase is made.
The traditional approach is to let the buyer pay for their own survey - but a clever seller would consider a survey and report as an investment, e.g. in getting a faster sale, with a premium price for the property.

The 'official' advice is that you are not obliged to use an 'agent' i.e.
Architect or Chartered Architectural Technologist to make the application on your behalf.
This is because the planning process is intended to be openly available to all - and you as an individual have the right to make your own application.
The reality is that planning policy is complex and you need to have a clear understanding of it in order to gain planning approval.
You also need to be able to produce scaled drawings in support of the application and be able to provide further information when requested to do so by the planners and other agencies.

Landmark Designs does not charge VAT, which is equivalent to a valuable 20% discount off your design fees for a new-build project (when compared to designers who charge VAT).
As a percentage of the building costs: This will vary with how much you want the designer to do, so please contact us to discuss the options.
Based on the floor area: This is applied with a 'sliding scale' approach that relates to the complexity and type of building, so a large simple building could cost no more than a small complex one.
