Matthew Hardcastle Architects London

Matthew Hardcastle qualified as a registered Architect in 1998 and is a member of the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects).

The practice works on projects that are diverse in both type and scale ranging from domestic residential, educational, commercial office and retail.

The approach to each project is to seek out the best use and opportunity from every site, form a clear understanding of the programme and budget, and through an efficient methodical work process deliver an effective and valued solution.

If you are in need of architectural advice for a project, please contact the office and we will be pleased to discuss your project.

If you are considering carrying out work to your home please contact us and we will be happy to talk you through your options, the regulations approval process, and the building work. A home visit can be arranged if required.

We provide all services required for the planning approval process including: planning applications, initial discussions with the planning authority to assess the potential for approval, pre-application submissions, permitted development and certificates of lawfulness, change of use, and design and access statements. We have developed a good working relationship with a number of planning authorities and value the benefit of maintaining a strong dialogue with them during the approvals process.

We provide a comprehensive service for building control approval and can provide full detailed construction information for tendering and carrying out of the building work. We can also carry out inspections of the building work and contract administration and certification if required. We provide advice as needed for other approvals/considerations such as daylighting, party walls, Thames Water, and public utilities.
