John Whittlestone Associates Ltd

John Whittlestone Associates offers a personal approach to the architectural design of extensions, loft conversions, and alterations to homes throughout Yorkshire. With 27 years of experience in architectural design and as a professional Structural Engineer, the company provides a unique and complete architectural design and project management service, from initial schemes through to the completion of building work. This comprehensive service aims to save clients money, time, and stress, ensuring a smooth project delivered to the highest possible standard.

The firm's background as a Structural Engineer significantly influences its approach, ensuring that projects not only receive full planning permission but also full building regulations approval. This dual qualification is crucial, as many architectural designers lack the structural engineering expertise required for building regulations, potentially leading to additional costs and delays. John Whittlestone Associates manages projects personally from start to finish, staking professional and personal reputation on each job.

They are qualified to handle the design, structural demands, and regulatory approvals, offering a unique advantage in the industry. The service includes initial meetings to discuss visions, followed by a full, free proposal. They handle planning permission applications, acting as the client's agent and liaising with planning departments.

For building regulations, they produce detailed designs, structural calculations, and specifications for full approval. They also assist in obtaining and checking quotations from reputable contractors and can project manage the entire build to ensure it stays on schedule and within budget. All work is covered by Professional Indemnity Insurance and conforms to EuroCodes and British Standards.
