The drawing set, 2022–2025.
Six of the thirty-eight houses we have built. Every one began with a two-hour site visit, and most with a plot somebody else had walked away from.

We draw the light before the walls.
Planform is four people in a first-floor studio in Exeter. We take on around eight houses a year, so the architect who walks your site is the one who draws it, submits it and signs off the build.
The studio, Friars Walk- A1
Call us before you buy
A two-hour visit before exchange has saved clients from plots that would never get consent.
- A2
Light first, then rooms
We plot the sun across your site through the year before we draw a single wall.
- A3
Drawings builders can price
Our tender packages get like-for-like quotes, so you compare builders, not guesses.
- A4
One architect, start to finish
The person who visits your site is the person who signs off the build.
“They talked us out of the plot we loved and into the one we live on now. Best £350 we have ever spent.”

Loosely the RIBA Plan of Work, in plain English. Most houses take eighteen months from first visit to moving in.
