ASA Architects

ASA Architects is a well-established architectural practice that has been delivering high-quality design solutions since 2001. Starting as a consultancy for larger practices, the firm has since evolved into a specialist design consultancy for football clubs, sports organisations, education sector clients, and private individuals. Our general practice encompasses a wide range of services, from office space planning to new builds, extensions, and small works, including listed buildings and construction areas. We pride ourselves on maintaining strong relationships with various construction professionals, ensuring that our architectural input is well-informed, client-focused, and tailored to projects of all sizes.

Based in the Blackmore Vale, Dorset, we handle a diverse range of projects in the West Country, Home Counties, and beyond. Our portfolio includes National and International projects, demonstrating our versatility, experience, and commitment to providing exceptional design solutions.

Services Offered

At ASA Architects, we offer a comprehensive range of architectural and design services, including:

• Free Initial Consultation

Clients often have a clear idea of what they want to achieve but require professional guidance and expertise to make their vision a reality. We offer a free, initial consultation to help define the best approach, discuss local authority requirements, and outline potential costs and timelines. Following the consultation, you will receive a written proposal that outlines the brief and associated fees.

• Professional Appraisal & Advice

An initial consultation benefits the client in various ways, including gaining insights and valuable advice on coordinating with other professionals, understanding building issues, and addressing new site requirements. Our architects are not only designers but also provide coordination and advice throughout the project's evolution, ensuring compliance with regulations and requirements.

• Building Surveys

We stress the importance of accurate information during the design process. For home extensions and listed buildings, we conduct comprehensive building surveys to document the condition, construction type, and other relevant details that inform and support the design.

• Planning Applications & Approvals

We guide clients through the planning process, ensuring that all necessary permits and approvals are acquired. Small works may not require planning permission, but we can clarify this during an initial consultation. For larger projects, we prepare detailed planning drawings and manage the application process, negotiating with planners and making any necessary amendments to secure success.

• Building Regulations & Compliance

Our expertise ensures that detailed drawings and specifications are in compliance with Local Authority or private Building Control requirements. We produce high-quality drawings and documents for assessment, costing, and construction, enabling a smooth transition into the building phase.

• Contract Administration

ASA Architects manages building procurement efficiently, based on the project's requirements. We can administer contracts using standard forms or arrange alternative advisory roles for specialty projects, ensuring a streamlined building process from start to finish.

Our Work

Our portfolio features a wide variety of residential, commercial, sports, and conservation projects, including:

• New Houses

We design high-quality, bespoke new houses, catering to individual client needs and securing Planning Authority support.

• Extensions & Conversions

Our experience with extensions and conversions spans various building types, materials, and scales, ensuring functional and visually appealing results that respect the existing structures' character.
