01 / About Pep Designs

Technical experience.
Personal attention.

Pep Designs is a technical design practice working with homeowners and self-builders across West Yorkshire.

From single-storey extensions to full self-builds, we handle planning applications, building regulations drawings and the technical detail your builder needs to price and construct the job properly.

02 / Our services

Design and
technical services.

We take domestic projects from first sketch through planning and building regulations to a drawing package your builder can price and construct from. Our advice is independent of who carries out the building work.

03 / The process

What happens,
and when.

You don’t need to have done this before. We guide you through the stages, explain what is needed and agree the scope of work for your project.

  1. 01

    Site visit & measured survey

    We measure the house and talk through what you want to achieve. Existing plans and elevations give us a clear starting point and help us assess what is practical.

  2. 02

    Concept design & options

    We explore layout options with the planning constraints in mind, then refine the design with you until it suits your home and the way you want to live.

  3. 03

    Planning application

    Where an application is needed, we prepare the drawings and supporting information, submit it and handle queries and amendments during the decision process.

  4. 04

    Building regulations package

    Construction details, specification and structural coordination turn the agreed design into a technical drawing package for building control and your builder.
