Architectural Services for New Build Projects
Building a property from scratch, be it a home or a commercial space, is an exciting project. It’s also important to get the designs right in the early stages to pave the way for the rest of the construction. If you’re planning a new build, an architect can ensure your concept, designs, and construction meet your vision and requirements.

Do you need an architect for a new build?
When starting a building project, you may be wondering whether you can plan, design, and project manage the construction yourself. In some cases, you can if you feel confident enough to do so.
However, when big structural changes are in play, it’s best to seek support from a qualified architect. As a new build involves everything from foundations and exterior walls to the finishing touches, it certainly involves significant structural changes.
Although having an architect on your team isn’t a legal requirement, it can be extremely helpful and provide the best results possible.
What are the benefits of hiring an architect?
Chartered architects go through years of training and accreditation, giving them in-depth knowledge of every element involved in creating beautiful properties that are built to the highest standards.
They can:
- Translate your vision and ideas into achievable plans
- Offer guidance and inspiration to help you get the most out of your space
- Make sure your project is compliant with planning requirements as well as health and safety standards
- Help keep your project within budget
- Ensure your new house provides long-term value and kerb appeal
- Provide peace of mind by taking control of the process so you don’t have to
Our architectural services for new builds
At Robert Turner Associates, we’re proud to have a strong team of experienced professionals.
No matter the type of new build property you’re planning, our lead architect, Giulia Pasqualini Galliani (RIBA, ARB) will help you get the best results possible. Bringing her unique flair for balancing natural materials and traditional techniques with contemporary urban designs, she can create properties that are beautiful, functional, and stand the test of time. Meanwhile, Mattia Penazzi provides impeccable technical knowledge and seamless project delivery.
If you’re planning to build a new house, Giulia and Mattia can offer the following services:
Initial concepts
We’ll collaborate with you to develop a new build concept that perfectly fits your needs, whether it’s a single dwelling or a full suite of family homes. We’ve supported homeowners, businesses, and property developers across the South East — take a look at our new build projects portfolio to see some of our work in action.
Detailed designs
Before any construction can start, it’s important to have detailed designs so you can visualise your space and plan accurately. This is especially important with new builds, as there is no initial structure to re-imagine.
Mattia specialises in bringing architectural designs to life through 2D and 3D modelling and rendering. We can ensure you have all the drawings you need for building regulations as well as giving you a clear idea of how the final build will look
NBS Chorus
Our technical drawings and specifications can be standardised for the NBS Chorus Platform, so all parties involved — from builders creating your new build’s foundations to carpenters completing joinery — will be able to follow the same clear plans.
Planning and building regulation applications
We can handle any applications for planning permission or building regulations approval so you can feel confident knowing your project meets all necessary legal requirements.
Special consent applications
If you live in a conservation area, you’ll need specific consent before building. We can submit the applications for you, so there’s one less task on your to-do list.
Project management and site visits
Our team is on hand to offer support from beginning to end. We can coordinate with all contractors to provide seamless service. We’ll conduct regular site visits throughout the build to make sure everything is on track and meets the highest standards.
