Architectural design

The Architectural Design team at Urban Vision is headed by senior architects with many years’ commercial and public sector experience in delivering major projects across the UK. Quality in design is placed at the top of our business agenda and our growth is planned around the improvement of our market share of the design of quality architectural projects.

We offer a comprehensive design and contract administration service, commencing with concept designs and thorough site appraisals, feasibility studies and development studies, through to the full range of architectural design services outlined by The Royal Institute of British Architects. The team also fulfils the role of planning supervisor/coordinator and offers a site inspection service, delivered by a team of experienced clerks of works.

Clients’ requirements are met and delivered through a combination of high-quality design, technical knowledge and management expertise that stretches across listed building restoration, urban regeneration, sustainable design, interior design, a broad range of education building types and our deep knowledge of the Building Schools for the Future programme and public buildings.
