Our commitment to fostering lasting relationships has positioned us as a trusted partner in numerous town development schemes across the UK. Collaborating closely with local authorities, developers, and key stakeholders, we focus on delivering projects that address the social, environmental, and economic needs of each area while aligning with broader strategic plans. With extensive experience in this field, Simons Design ensures full compliance with all legislative requirements while working with clients to achieve exceptional outcomes.

When required, we take on the role of Lead Consultant, managing all aspects of the design process. This includes building design, structural and civil engineering, mechanical and electrical services, and the seamless coordination of specialized equipment and operational requirements from diverse suppliers.

Our expertise lies in assembling and leading multidisciplinary Project Design Teams known for delivering high-quality, cost-effective solutions. We excel in meeting strict budgetary and schedule demands, often contributing to high-profile projects for prominent Blue Chip companies.

Utilising the latest BIM technology enables us to optimise construction efficiency, minimize waste, and achieve cost savings on projects, delivering tangible benefits in terms of ‘time, cost, and quality’ for all stakeholders. This can involve producing CGI visuals and virtual walk-throughs.

BIM fosters a more collaborative, automated, and effective approach, bringing architects, engineers, and construction professionals together for enhanced project success.

Our Construction Phase Support ensures the successful delivery of projects through proactive coordination, technical expertise, and meticulous attention to detail. We work closely with contractors and consultants to resolve design challenges, oversee quality control, and maintain design integrity throughout the build. From site inspections to contract administration, we provide hands-on support to ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest standards.

This service ensures our clients meet their legal obligations by complying with the latest legislation. We assist in planning and managing health and safety during both the pre-construction and construction phases, ensuring that safety remains a priority without compromising the delivery of an outstanding final result.

With extensive experience in this area, Simons Design ensures all legislative requirements are met while collaborating closely with clients to achieve the best possible outcomes.

We carry out detailed building condition surveys of historic and listed properties, including residential manor houses, cottages, agricultural barn conversions, and civic buildings such as former schools and places of worship.

Historic buildings often face deterioration due to the need for specialist repairs, intricate planning requirements, and the complexities of working with traditional materials. As experienced architects specializing in heritage projects, we support clients in securing listed building and conservation area consents for sensitive interventions that preserve and restore these structures, transforming them into functional and beautiful spaces for modern residential or commercial use.

For historic projects, we offer:

• Heritage Impact Assessments, Statements of Significance, and Conservation Management Plans.

• Identification and scheduling of building defects, including detailed repair recommendations.

• Design and production of construction information, such as detailed repair drawings and bespoke specifications.

• Feasibility studies to assess development capacity and opportunities for change, ensuring the past informs future uses.

• Preparation of documentation for listed building and conservation planning consents.

• Collaboration with a network of specialist contractors and consultants, including stonemasons and paint conservationists.

• Preparing relevant information to seek listed building planning consent and conservation planning consent.

• Collaboration with a network of specialist contractors and consultants, from stonemasons to paint conservationists.

Our conservation-accredited architect, Daniel Christie, is on the Diocese of Lincoln's approved list of inspecting architects and serves as the inspecting architect for several churches throughout Greater Lincolnshire. Daniel and our team work closely with churchwardens and Parochial Church Councils (PCCs) to deliver essential specialist repairs, such as stonework and roof restoration, as well as sensitive adaptations like new WC facilities and community kitchens or serveries.
