At Daking Designs we provide professional architectural services in Suffolk and Essex, helping homeowners transform their properties with carefully designed extensions, loft conversions and residential alterations.
Whether you are planning a home extension, loft conversion or internal reconfiguration, our architectural design services guide you through every stage of the process — from initial concept designs through to planning permission and building regulations approval.
With extensive experience working with local planning authorities across Suffolk and Essex, we understand the design requirements and planning policies that help residential projects move forward smoothly.
Our Architectural Drawing Packages start from £695 + VAT
Single & Two Storey Extensions
We design high-quality home extensions that enhance space, functionality and value. Our extension services include measured surveys, concept design, detailed architectural drawings and planning permission submissions where required. We work closely with local planning authorities across Suffolk and Essex to create designs that comply with policy while meeting your needs.
Garage & Loft Conversions
Our loft & garage conversion architectural services help homeowners maximise unused roof & garage space. We prepare architectural drawings suitable for planning permission and building regulations approval, ensuring designs are practical, compliant and buildable. Whether creating an additional bedroom, office or living space, we tailor each design to the property.
Planning & Listed Building Drawings
We prepare clear, accurate planning permission drawings and manage the planning application process on your behalf. This includes submitting applications to the local authority, responding to queries and advising on planning policy. Our experience across Suffolk and Essex helps minimise delays and improve approval success.
Building Control Applications
Once planning permission is secured, we produce detailed building regulations drawings suitable for building control approval. These drawings ensure compliance with current building regulations and provide contractors with the technical information needed to construct the project accurately.
New Dwellings
We provide architectural design services for bespoke residential new build projects. From initial feasibility and concept design through to detailed drawings for planning and building regulations, we support clients at every stage. Our experience with local authority requirements ensures proposals are well-considered and robust.

3D Visualisations – See Your Home Come to Life
Our 3D visualisation service allows you to experience your project in a realistic and detailed way before construction begins. We provide high-quality renderings that clearly illustrate the design, materials, and overall appearance of your proposal. This enables informed decision-making and ensures you are fully confident with the final design.
