Architecture & Engineering

Design-led planning, technical coordination, and engineering support for residential projects across London.

At S & M Solutions Ltd, we deliver carefully planned residential projects across London through a fully integrated in-house design and build approach.

From early feasibility, planning and structural coordination through to technical design and construction delivery, every stage is managed by one coordinated team under one roof, giving homeowners clarity, continuity and confidence from concept to completion.

Whether undertaking a loft conversion, extension, renovation, or bespoke new build, our design-led process ensures planning, engineering and buildability are aligned from the outset, allowing projects to progress into construction with greater certainty and fewer surprises.

Our Pre-Construction & Design Stages

Our Pre-Construction Journey

1. Feasibility & Project Brief

We begin with an early-stage consultation to assess feasibility, understand your objectives, and identify key planning, structural and budget considerations before progressing further.

2. Design Development & Planning Drawings

Concept layouts and planning drawings are prepared to shape the design direction and support local authority submissions, with optional visualisation where required.

3. Planning Submission & Coordination

Preparation and submission of planning applications, including coordination with the relevant local planning authority throughout the approval process.

4. Technical Design, Structural Coordination & Cost Alignment

Intrusive surveys, structural engineering input and construction-ready technical drawings are developed to verify existing conditions and ensure buildable solutions before construction pricing is finalised. At this stage, we also align the technical design with realistic construction costs to help reduce uncertainty before works begin.

5. Building Regulations & Technical Approval

Preparation of technical drawings, details and submissions required for Building Regulations approval, supporting a smooth transition into the construction phase.

6. Build Preparation, Cost Planning & Project Mobilisation

Final build-stage preparation, scope refinement and cost planning are completed to ensure the project is fully ready for construction delivery, helping homeowners move forward with greater clarity on programme and budget.
