Plans That Work in the Real World..

Straightforward drawings your council approves — and your builder trusts.

Old-School Architects Take Too Long. Online Architects Feel Too Distant. SurvDesign Gives You the Best of Both

Local expertise, face-to-face service, and modern tech — so you get clear, approved plans without the delays or the detachment.

Step 4

We Scan Your Home

We come to you. In under an hour, our 3D LiDAR scanner captures every detail of your home with millimetre accuracy — and you meet your designer face-to-face on the same day.

Design Meeting

On the same day as your LiDAR scan, you’ll sit down with your designer in the comfort of your own home. This is your chance to talk through your ideas, outline your requirements, and make sure we understand exactly what you want from your project. We’ll answer your questions, guide you on what’s possible, and set a clear direction for your drawings.

Step 3

Drawings in 14 Days

Once you’re happy, we get to work. Your drawings are ready in just 14 days — not the months you’d wait with a traditional architect. Unlimited design changes are included in your quote, so you end up with exactly what you want.

Step 4

Approvals Sorted

We handle the paperwork. From planning applications to building control, we submit everything to your local council and keep it moving until you get approval. The only extras are the application fees you pay direct to the council. After that? It’s time to get building.

Plans Approved. Clients Delighted. Google Agrees...

Review on behalf of my parents- Mr & Mrs Sparrow We were really struggling to get our Land Registry plans approved due to confusing and unhelpful advice from a solicitor. Then we spoke to Kev — and what a difference! With just one quick call, he clearly explained what needed to be done and suggested we submit both our own and our neighbour’s plans together. Thanks to his expert advice, everything was approved straight away. He completed the plans quickly, efficiently, and at a very reasonable price. No stress, no hassle — just a great service from start to finish. Absolutely brilliant. Highly recommend Kev to anyone needing Land Registry Compliant Plans.

Kevin is flexible, listens to what has been asked. He is knowlegeable about ideas and suggestions and gives you leave options. The plans were clear to read and were done to a professional high standard. If you live in Essex and want a good value price then Kevin is the man to contact. My plans were submitted on Monday as the price is going out and they were done in a timely manner.

Kev from Surv Design was incredibly helpful when we needed land registry compliant plans drawn up for our leasehold property. After a couple of months when our buyers solicitor came back asking for revisions to be made, we received these within a couple of days. Thank you Kev for making a stressful process much easier! We are very grateful for your time and help!

Kev and the team have been amazing at working with me to ensure my planning application goes through smoothly. I live in a conservation area so it was daunting to even begin the process but Kev put me at ease straight away. Communication has been great and I would highly recommend Surv Design.

My experience in dealing with Mr Kev Miller of Essex Architects and Party Wall Surveyors is one of thankfulness. Having discussed my problem with Kev, which he fully understood, I sent him some follow-up details which were used by him to give a quick response. I am extremely grateful for his time, knowledge and understanding in dealing with my problem.
