Architectural Services, Refurbishment and Contract Administration


At Smith Marston, we have a wealth of experience in architectural and refurbishment projects. Schemes have included the following:


• Refurbishments and renovation projects
• Extensions and alterations
• New build
• Conversion schemes


DWELLINGS – architectural services on everything from small porch extensions to new build houses, with the characteristics of the scheme varying from traditional and conservative designs to exciting, modern and contemporary

BARN CONVERSIONS – including single barn conversion projects through to designs and contract administration of large farm steading conversion projects with contract values in the region of £1.5 million to £2 million.

LARGE COUNTRY HOUSES – involving significant consideration of conservation matters in connection with refurbishment and often the listed status of the property.

At Smith Marston, we pride ourselves on providing a high quality and responsive service to clients in connection with architectural services, refurbishment and contract administration. Whether residential or commercial, the starting point of any successful architectural or refurbishment scheme is to fully understand the client’s aspirations and requirements. Quite often we find that a client may have only a relatively uncertain idea of the form of the proposed scheme, even if they are certain about what they hope to achieve from the project in terms of additional or enlarged rooms, for example. Between us at Smith Marston, we have decades of experience of designing and specifying a vast array of architectural and refurbishment projects and we are fully aware that it is absolutely essential to get this first stage right.

Beyond this, we have similar architectural services experience of adding the technical details to the initial design drawings on refurbishment and architectural design projects to satisfy the Building Regulations and then, if desired, to produce a detailed specification, obtain competitive tenders from contractors and undertake contract administration.
