Your Vision, Our Expertise: A Seamless Journey
Taking the first step toward a home extension or renovation can be daunting. At Crosbie Builders, we simplify the process with our comprehensive Design and Build service. Instead of juggling separate architects, structural engineers, and contractors, you work with one dedicated team that understands your vision from day one.
Planning & Permitted Development
Navigating local council requirements can be a minefield. We handle the entire submission of planning applications for you. Whether your project falls under Permitted Development or requires full planning consent in a conservation area, we ensure all paperwork is accurate and compliant.
Architectural Design
We work with you to create drawings that balance beauty with buildability. Our designs focus on maximizing your property’s potential, focusing on natural light, space optimization, and structural integrity.
Need help with the “Paperwork” phase?
We specialise in translating your ideas into professional plans that satisfy Building Control and Local Planning Authorities. Let us handle the technical details while you focus on choosing your finishes.

Design & Planning FAQs
Q: Why should I choose Design & Build over hiring an independent architect?
A: Choosing Design & Build ensures that the person designing your home actually knows how much it costs to build. It bridges the gap between “concept” and “budget,” preventing expensive redesigns later on.
Q: Do you handle structural engineer calculations as well?
A: Yes. As part of our comprehensive service, we coordinate with structural engineers to ensure your plans meet all safety standards and Building Regulations.
Q: How long does the planning application process usually take?
A: Once submitted, local councils typically take about 8 weeks to reach a decision on standard residential applications. We manage the communication with the council throughout this period.
Q: What if my planning application is refused?
A: We design with local planning policy in mind to minimize this risk. However, if issues arise, we work to amend the designs and handle the re-submission process on your behalf.
