FAQs

Here's all of the questions we get asked the most.
What is BeforeBricks, and how can you help with planning permission?
BeforeBricks is a nationwide architecture practice that simplifies the process of securing planning permission, building control approval, and construction estimates. We offer a quick, affordable, and hassle-free service to help bring your project to life.
How quickly can BeforeBricks provide architectural drawings?
We specialise in delivering architectural drawings in days, not weeks or months. Unlike smaller local architects, we have the capacity to give your project the attention it deserves without long waiting times.
How does the process work from start to finish?
Our process includes a simple step-by-step journey:

1. Project Consultation
2. Measured Survey
3. Architectural Design (with unlimited revisions)
4. Planning Permission submission
5. Building Control approval
6. Finding a vetted local builder
Do I need to commit after the initial consultation?
No, the initial consultation is completely free. It's an opportunity to discuss your project with an expert and see if we're a good fit before you commit to anything.
How does BeforeBricks ensure planning permission approval?
Our team has extensive experience in preparing planning drawings and supporting documents that meet council requirements. We handle the entire submission process on your behalf, increasing your chances of a successful outcome.
Can I choose my own builder, or do I have to use one from your network?
You are free to choose your own builder. However, we can connect you with our network of fully vetted local builders and tradespeople to help streamline the construction process.
What makes BeforeBricks different from other architectural services?
Unlike smaller, overburdened local practices, BeforeBricks is large enough to handle projects efficiently but small enough to provide personalised service. Our fast turnaround times and excellent customer service set us apart.
Are there any hidden costs or additional charges?
No, we provide transparent pricing from the start. During your free consultation, we’ll outline all costs involved, so you know exactly what to expect.
Do you offer unlimited revisions on designs?
Yes, we offer unlimited revisions during the design phase, ensuring you’re completely satisfied with the final layout and design before moving forward.
