Where expert judgement changes the outcomeThis is where most homeowners
This is where most homeowners
lose time and money.
Most people only renovate once, and the costliest mistakes come from the very first decisions — commissioning drawings too early, trusting an optimistic cost, missing a constraint, or building more than you need. A deep dive with Dave settles those decisions first: 20 years of experience applied to your exact house, plot and budget — the design, likely costs, planning route, party wall position and ground risks — before you appoint anyone.
What you’ll get
See your project as on-screen sketch designs, drawn live with Dave
Know exactly what needs planning permission — and what doesn't
See what you can realistically afford to build — and what you can't
Understand your party wall duties, timing and likely fees
Explore ways to get the space you need with less building
Know who to appoint, when to appoint them and what a fair fee looks like
What you’ll avoid
Applying for a design that was never realistic for your budget
Assuming permitted development applies—then discovering it doesn't
Trusting a low headline build estimate that leaves out the expensive bits
Paying architects, engineers or surveyors before you actually need them (if at all!)
Missing a party wall, tree or ground risk until it delays the project
Building more than necessary because nobody tested a smarter layout
Your questions, answered
How are you different to my local architect?
Spend hundreds getting it right — not thousands putting it right.
Your house, plot and priorities — worked through one to one1–2 hourswith Dave
Dave combines the evidence from your report with an expert review of your planning position, costs, party wall obligations, ground conditions, trees and professional requirements. Then you explore the options together and receive a written plan of action.
Before you book
The questions people usually ask.
Is it really refundable?
Yes. If you don't leave knowing what to build, whether it needs planning and what you can afford, we refund the £199 in full. No quibble.
Am I tied into using Arkiplan afterwards?
No. The deep dive stands on its own. You get a written plan you can take to any firm or builder. If you do go ahead with us, the £199 comes off your 3D scan, which comes off your package fee.
What if I'm a year off building?
That's often the best time to do it. Getting the big decisions right early is exactly what stops wasted spend later — you'll know the route, the likely costs and who to appoint when the time comes.
Can I reschedule?
Yes. Life happens — just let us know and we'll move your slot to a time that suits you.
