Architectural Consultancy Services 

Architects Belfast specialise in providing complete architectural design services for new homes or alternations to existing homes. Our architectural design service is very comprehensive. 

NEW HOMES 

Architects in Belfast can provide architectural drafting services for complete new home designs, designed and prepared specifically to your requirements. We will liaise with you at the early stages with concept architectural services to come up with the perfect design for your building site. 

Once the concept has been agreed we will prepare all the necessary drawings and other documents that you need in order to obtain the approvals from the various statutory bodies. These documents will also allow you to obtain costs from your contractor for the construction phase. The detail drawings will be sufficiently detailed allowing your contractor to get on the construction of your new dream home when approved.
