About Us
Residential design grounded in practical experience and technical knowledge. Your Home Plans is a CIAT Chartered Practice based in Chichester, providing residential design, planning and technical services across West Sussex and the surrounding area.
Established in 2007, we have helped homeowners transform their properties through home extensions, loft and garage conversions, remodelling and new homes. Every project is different, and our approach starts with understanding not simply how much additional space you want, but how you want your home to work for you and your family.
From the first feasibility discussions through design, planning and Building Regulations, our focus is on creating attractive, practical solutions that can realistically be built.
Design That Works in Practice
Good residential design is about much more than creating additional floor area. We look carefully at how new and existing spaces work together, how you move through the home, natural light, views, furniture layouts and the practical requirements of everyday family life.
3D modelling forms an important part of our design process, allowing you to understand your proposals both inside and out. Floor plans, sections and 3D views help us explore key areas of the design with you and allow you to make informed decisions as the project develops.
Technical Knowledge From the Start
As a Chartered Architectural Technologist, June combines creative residential design with an understanding of building construction and technology. This means practical considerations aren't left until the drawings reach the builder. Structure, construction, materials, Building Regulations and buildability can be considered alongside the design from an early stage.
That combination of design and technical knowledge is particularly valuable when working with existing homes, where the realities of the existing building often influence what can successfully be achieved.
Experience From Both Sides of a Building Project
Our experience isn't limited to producing drawings. Having completed a number of our own extensions and remodelling projects, together with a self-build constructed by Martin, we understand many of the decisions, uncertainties and practical challenges that homeowners experience during a building project. First hand experience helps us look beyond how a proposal appears on a drawing and consider how it may actually be constructed and experienced as a home.
A CIAT Chartered Practice
Your Home Plans is a CIAT Chartered Practice, giving clients the reassurance of working with a practice committed to recognised professional standards. CIAT - the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists -is the professional body for Architectural Technology. Chartered Architectural Technologists are specialists in the technology of architecture, combining design with knowledge of building construction, performance and technical delivery.
For our clients, this means professional design advice supported by the technical knowledge needed to take a residential project from the initial idea towards something that can actually be built.
Whats It Like To Work With Us
"Engaged Your Home Plans to provide architectural plans for a two storey extension and internal remodelling. The process was excellent, with attention paid to what we wanted to do but also why so alternate suggestions could be made if they were required. This meant a very smooth process from start to finish with excellent support re. planning permission and detailed designs that impressed our builder. The after care was also fantastic, with support on queries we had during the building process and guidance through the experience. Can not recommend highly enough."
