Crystal at Archisolve provides creative, practical designs for extensions and internal alterations - offering a comprehensive service, including planning and building control drawings and applications. I offer Architectural services with a focus on delivering quality drawings at reasonable prices and with outstanding customer service. I enjoy working directly for domestic clients designing extensi
ons and alterations to their homes. I love getting involved with my client’s ideas and being creative together. I will always produce different designs so we can discuss options until the client is completely satisfied. I then go onto manage the planning stage and submit those drawings and applications on behalf of my clients. Planning is rarely a straight forward process but I act as the buffer between my clients and their local authority. I attend all meeting with the Planners and will always talk through any queries with them. I take the worry away from the client, while at the same time always keeping them up to date with proceedings. I realise communication is the key to a good working relationship. Once we have planning approval we go onto the less well known Building Control stage. Here I produce detailed drawings with construction notes for the project. These drawings evidence that we are adhering to the Building Regulations, which are the legal standards for construction in this country. I partner with Southampton City Council Building Control department and have a good relationship with them. Another benefit of having those detailed drawings is that your builders can give you more accurate quotations, I specify everything from the foundations to the roof structure and everything in between. This leaves a lot less chance of miscommunications, costly mistakes and frankly heart ache during the build. I also work with local project managers, other Architectural practices and established builders offering professional drawing services. My drawings are very good, but of course, so are many others. What makes me stand out is that customer service is at the heart of my business. I am passionate about people and making the most of their space. I see the difference it makes in my clients lives and I love being part of that. I am a splash of colour in a stuffy industry, I am professional but approachable and personable.
