Unlock the Potential of Your Land
Every great self-build starts with the land beneath it, and understanding its full potential is where we come in.

We begin with a thorough site analysis, exploring your land’s layout, orientation, and natural features. This helps us identify opportunities and overcome challenges early on, from sunlight and views to gradients and access, ensuring your self-build project is both inspiring and practical.
Working closely with you, our Architects create a bespoke design that celebrates your site’s unique characteristics while enhancing its functionality, efficiency, and beauty.
With MP Chartered Architects as your trusted partner, you can move forward with complete confidence, knowing your project will be designed for success, built on sustainability, and delivered with the precision and creativity that define every home we create.

Our Self-Build Process
Our self-build construction process is clear, collaborative, and built around you. From the first ideas to the final handover, we keep things simple, transparent, and stress-free, guiding you through every stage of design, planning, and construction with expert support at every step.
Step 1
Design Your Dream SELF BUILD Home
Every great home starts with a great idea, and we’re here to bring yours to life. Our process begins with a relaxed, detailed consultation where we get to know you: how you live, what you love, and what you want from your future home.
From there, we craft a bespoke design that captures your vision while making the most of your site, budget, and lifestyle. Using advanced design tools, we create clear visualisations and architectural plans so you can explore your house long before the build begins.
Throughout the design stage, collaboration is key. We listen, refine, and adapt until your design feels exactly right, a perfect balance of beauty, practicality, and personality.
Step 2
Securing Planning Permission and Approval
The planning process can feel daunting, but with MP Chartered Architects, you don’t have to worry about a thing. Our team manages every stage for you, preparing and submitting all the necessary documents, communicating with consultants and local authorities, and keeping you informed from start to finish.
We know how important it is to keep your project moving, so we work proactively to secure planning approval as efficiently as possible. With our experience and attention to detail, you can move forward with confidence, knowing everything is handled with care and precision.
Step 3
Construction Drawings
Once planning approval is in place, we translate your design into detailed construction drawings, the essential blueprint for your build. These technical plans capture every dimension, material, and specification, ensuring your self builders have everything they need to bring your self build house to life exactly as intended.
Our meticulous attention to detail means nothing is left to chance. Every element is designed for accuracy, quality, and craftsmanship, so the finished home matches your vision in every way.
Step 4
Project Management
Once we have prepared the construction drawings, we can be involved throughout the project through to completion. This will involve various stages such as preparing a detailed specification, helping you choose the internal finishes or working with interior designers, kitchen and bathroom companies, going out to tender to several contractors, and then preparing the contract with the chosen contractor.
We will then inspect the site throughout the build to ensure that it is being built to a high standard, in compliance with the drawings, and that the project is moving forward at a steady pace.Â
Once complete, we will then carry out the snagging, making sure any defects are picked up and addressed, ready for you to move in.
