New Forest – House Extension – Structural Engineering
Elmstone Design LLP inherited a Planning Permission and through taking the brief from the client were able to advise the client the Planning Permission didn’t represent what they thought they were getting with the building several feet shorter than intended and very narrow circulation at first floor.
Elmstone Design LLP obtained a revised Planning Permission, undertook Building Regulation and Structural Engineering Design to create spaces to suit a growing family.

Quotes and Client Testimonials
"John Sutton is an architectural engineer – maybe a bit like Mr Spock mind-melds Frank Lloyd Wright. Deciding to hire John for what grew into a demo-rebuild of our small cottage in Ryde turned out to be pounds well-spent. We’re from the US (10 years in UK). It’s been challenging to re-learn work processes and the like in what is known here as a ‘self-build’ project. We had to trust the knowledge and judgment of a professional we hired entirely on reputation. What could go wrong? Well, it was a good decision: John as Elmstone Design took us through design and planning issues in a conservation area, gaining planning permission having listened closely to our needs whilst making the case for what is quite a change. We’re readying for next stages now. We like working with John and his work, but we’ll still make this review just 4 stars. Got to hold something til the end, don’t we?"- Yell Review 1
