New Builds In Basingstoke And Beyond
When it comes to building a new home, you need a team you can trust rob leary architecture, we are here to help you get the home you have dreamt about.
If you are considering a bespoke new build, we take care of everything: developing the architectural design, submitting the relevant planning applications to give you the best chance of planning approval, and ensuring compliance with current building regulations, bringing your vision to life at every stage.
What Are Architectural Services?
Architectural services cover the planning, design and construction phases of a building project, whether that is a home, an extension, an outbuilding or another space intended for everyday use.
Key aspects include feasibility studies, measured site surveys, architectural drawings, 3D visualisations that help clients picture the finished result before construction begins, and support with planning permission, the kind of work that might otherwise require separate planning consultants.
Good architecture is a mix of art and science: the structures we create need to be aesthetically pleasing, structurally sound, and fully compliant. That demands the ability to think both creatively and practically, balancing your vision, the constraints of the site and the requirements of the Local Authority to deliver quality results on every job.
Do You Need Help To Obtain Planning Permission?
Communication with the local authorities can be frustrating and rarely straightforward, which is why so many homeowners ask us to manage their planning needs.
Councils typically take up to 8 weeks to review planning applications, so getting the submission right the first time really matters. Whether you are extending, converting a loft, or planning a new build, we prepare and submit your planning permission application on your behalf. Because we handle the planning side ourselves, most domestic projects don’t need a separate planning consultant, saving you time and cost.
Where a scheme is unusually complex, we can work alongside specialist planning consultants to give your project the highest chance of approval.
Ensure Your Project Meets Building Regulations
Building regulations can be a challenge if you aren’t sure how the process works.
Our team will make sure your new home, conversion or extension complies with current UK standards as part of our complete service, producing detailed building regulations drawings and liaising with the Local Authority Building Control department so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

What People Are Saying
Rob was recommended to us from a colleague who had used him and said how knowledgeable he is. We contacted him, came up with some dates and he came exactly when he said. When Rob came over on his first visit we talked about what we wanted but we were unsure what to do with the roof and where our new kitchen was going to sit. He gave us loads of ideas, what would look good, where’s the best place to have different things in the kitchen and mentioned lots of new products that are on the market.
At no point did we feel rushed into making a decision.
Robs second visit was to take measurements and talk about the whole process from when the plan’s go in to completion. Again nothing was rushed and he said if we were to change our minds on some things just let him know.
Can’t recommend Rob enough, professional, easily contactable, reliable, knowledgeable, and a really nice guy.
