Element Architects

At Element Architects, we are passionate about delivering high-quality architectural services that meet our clients' expectations and aspirations. Our team of experienced and dedicated professionals, including Chartered RIBA and RIAS architects, is committed to providing sustainable, cost-effective, and contextually responsive design solutions for our clients.

Our Services

We offer a wide range of architectural services, including design development, feasibility studies, planning applications, building regulations and warrant applications, pre-construction tender and building contracts, construction on-site and quality monitoring, and post-construction and project completion. We also provide standalone 3D and BIM modelling and architectural visualisation services throughout the UK.

Design Development and Feasibility

Our design process is deeply rooted in our commitment to sustainability and contextual responsiveness. We believe that each project presents a unique challenge and an opportunity to create something exceptional. Our team works closely with our clients to understand their needs, aspirations, and budget constraints to deliver a design that not only meets but exceeds their expectations.

Planning Applications and Approvals

We have extensive experience in navigating the complex process of planning applications and approvals. Our team is well-versed in the regulations and requirements of various local authorities covering Edinburgh, the Lothians, and Newcastle. We can assist our clients in obtaining the necessary approvals, including Conservation Area and Listed Building Consents.

Building Regulations and Warrant Applications

We are dedicated to ensuring that all our projects comply with the relevant building regulations and standards. Our team has the knowledge and expertise to navigate the warrant application process efficiently, ensuring that our clients' projects are completed on time and within budget.

Pre-Construction Tender and Building Contracts

Once the design and planning stages are complete, we assist our clients in the pre-construction process, including tendering and contract administration. Our team works closely with contractors and other stakeholders to ensure that the project is delivered according to the agreed specifications, timeline, and budget.

Construction On-Site and Quality Monitoring

During the construction phase, we provide on-site monitoring and quality control services to ensure that the project is progressing as planned. Our team is committed to maintaining high standards of quality and safety, and we work closely with the construction team to address any issues that may arise.

Post-Construction and Project Completion

After the completion of the project, we offer services to ensure that all aspects of the project are fully documented and that our clients are satisfied with the final outcome. We believe in building long-term relationships with our clients and are always available to provide support and assistance after the project is completed.

BIM and 3D Visualisation

In addition to our architectural services, we also provide standalone BIM (Building Information Modelling) and 3D visualisation services. These services can be particularly beneficial for clients who wish to visualise their project in detail before construction begins or for those who require detailed models for planning and construction purposes.
