Practical Design for Godalming Homes
GFW Design + Architecture provides residential design services across Godalming, helping homeowners improve, extend, and reconfigure their homes. We focus on delivering clear, practical design work that responds to the brief and fits the building. Our design process ensures each stage—from layout planning to technical drawings—is handled with care and accuracy.
Initial Design and Site Assessment
Every project begins with a site visit and measured survey. This provides the foundation for our Concept + Planning service. We look at how the space is used and where improvements can be made, working with you to develop a layout that suits your day-to-day needs.
- Measured surveys
- Layout reviews and design options
- Extension and remodelling proposals
- Design revisions based on feedback
- Advice on planning constraints
Planning Applications in Godalming
Once the design is agreed, we prepare and submit the planning application to Waverley Borough Council. We handle all communication and keep you informed throughout. If your project falls under permitted development, we can help confirm this and proceed with the necessary drawings.
Design That Respects Original Buildings
In Godalming, we frequently work with older homes and traditional builds. Our design approach makes the most of the existing property, incorporating original elements into the proposed changes. We ensure your new layout feels like a natural extension of what’s already there.
Building Regulations Drawings & Technical Design
After planning is approved, we move to the technical design stage. This includes producing Building Regulations drawings and coordinating with Structural Engineers and Building Control where needed. These documents are used by your builder and ensure construction runs smoothly.
- Detailed technical drawings
- Building Regulations compliance
- Consultant coordination
- Tender-ready documentation
- Support through approvals
Optional Tender & Build Support
While most clients manage their own build, we can assist with the preparation of tender packs and help appoint a contractor. We also offer limited input during construction where technical queries arise. This support is available if you’d like guidance beyond the design phase.
