Building Tectonics Ltd

At Building Tectonics, we are a CIAT (Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists) registered architectural practice. Our main goal is to provide high-quality architectural design, led by a careful feasibility planning process, which will make your project a reality. Our team is dedicated to making sure that your project is completed without any of the common pitfalls that many property owners face.

Our Services

Our team at Building Tectonics offers a wide range of services across both residential and commercial projects. We have been established since 1985 and are based in Fenny Stratford, Milton Keynes. However, our projects extend to Bedfordshire, Northampton, Luton, St Albans, and Buckinghamshire.

We offer a variety of services including:

1. Feasibility Scheme

We start projects with a Feasibility Scheme at a fixed fee. This involves visiting your home at a time that suits you, listening to your requirements, and producing a number of schemes for your perusal. There may be variations that should be considered or even some entirely different approaches. We feel that it is important to get the best possible scheme before commencing the next stage.

2. Scheme Acceptance

Once a scheme has been agreed and you wish to proceed with the next stage, we will advise whether or not you need planning permission and/or building regulations, give you a quote for more detailed plans that are needed for the relative stages, and inform you that you can cancel at any stage and that all we charge for, is the stage which we have commenced.

3. Planning Application

We will send a formal application to the Planning Authority and assess what further costs you will incur in order to proceed. We can obtain an approximate build cost from a competent builder if you wish. We can also obtain any structural engineering costs from a Structural Engineer, which may be required in order to move to the next stage. The Planning Process generally takes between 8 and 12 weeks from lodging the application.

4. Building Regulations

Once you have asked us to prepare the building regulation application and send our fees together with local authority fees, we will commence this part of our work. A building regulations application requires considerable technical input on our part. For most domestic work, it takes us 2 to 3 weeks to prepare the application.

Project Management

We will project manage your scheme to completion, ensuring that all stages are completed efficiently and to a high standard. Our team is dedicated to making sure that your project is completed on time and to your satisfaction.
