Successful architecture combines creative flair with sustainability and practicality. Carter Hughes Davies is a thriving, established R.I.B.A. accredited Chartered Architectural company, offering innovation, professional service, and turning your project vision into reality.

We make it happen because we have the design skills, combined with knowledge of a sustainable approach, all in house. Offering a multi-disciplinary solution, the result is an efficient and professional service that maintains quality, creativity, and cost-effectiveness within each design, with consideration to the life time costs of the project.

A very individual tailored service is offered to a wide range of clients, both corporate and private, no matter how large or small the project. There are few architectural, surveying or project management tasks that we cannot undertake on your behalf. In particular, we have extensive experience of architectural design involving the conservation, extension, alteration and improvement of Historical Listed Buildings, which often requires sensitive intervention, whilst providing a contemporary solution. Also, we have great experience in designing new build housing and flats within sensitive sites.

Our depth of experience and breadth of skills means that Carter Hughes Davies provides a multi-disciplinary team approach to architecture. The result is stunning, efficient, and eco-sustainable solutions to construction projects, on time and within budget.

Building Regulations – Part L – The government is re-writing Part L (thermal and building efficiencies), and is set to increase thermal performance levels in 2010, and is aiming for “zero carbon” buildings shortly after, ensuring that input using renewable energy resources is brought to the forefront of design. We have considerable knowledge in energy efficiency and renewable energy options, including ground, air and water source heat pumps, solar energy options, grey water recycling tanks etc.........................................................The Party Wall Etc. Act 1996 is a common problem for people intending to carry out construction work, and for their neighbours. The Act is not simply limited to works proposed to a boundary – it could apply to works being carried out within 6m of a boundary, or where your neighbours’ property is within a 6m distance of the intended work. Whether you are having the works carried out, or live adjacent to a property where works are being carried out, call us for a free initial consultation as to whether or not the Act applies in your case.........................................................In these difficult financial times caused by the banks, with less new build projects proceeding, contractors are prepared to lower their build costs in order to secure themselves the work. Many contractors will price low to secure the job, on the basis of limited design or construction information being provided, and knowing that they can make claims later in the project, and recover a profit. By providing only limited information to your contractor, you are effectively giving him a blank cheque. To avoid such problems, it is important to have your project as fully detailed as possible, with working drawings and a full descriptive specification, so as when the contractor prices a build, it removes the lack of information and therefore removes the chance of making any claims for additional works.
