Based in Purley, Form and Function is a premier architectural services firm dedicated to designing exceptional spaces across London and the Home Counties. Our guiding philosophy is that true architectural excellence lies in the perfect harmony of aesthetic beauty (form) and intelligent, practical use (function). We offer a complete range of services, expertly guiding clients through every stage of the journey, from initial concept and planning permissions to the final construction. Our client-centric approach ensures every design is meticulously tailored to your unique aspirations and needs. We are committed to transforming your vision into a sustainable and inspiring built reality with precision and care.
Architectural Drawings
Our architectural drawings serve as the foundational blueprint, meticulously translating your unique vision into a precise and actionable plan for construction. Each drawing is produced with exacting detail, providing the critical technical information required for planning submissions, building regulations, and cost accuracy. We ensure every line harmoniously balances aesthetic intent (form) with structural integrity and usability (function).
Building Regulations
Navigating Building Regulations is a critical step in ensuring your project is not only legally compliant but also safe, energy-efficient, and built to the highest standards. Our team possesses an in-depth understanding of these complex technical requirements, producing the detailed drawings and specifications necessary to demonstrate full compliance. We manage the entire submission process on your behalf, liaising directly with local authority Building Control or an Approved Inspector to secure all necessary approvals efficiently. This meticulous approach guarantees peace of mind and ensures the structural integrity and performance of your project, safeguarding its value and function for years to come.
Tender Documents
Once your design is finalised and approved, we prepare a comprehensive tender package to ensure you receive accurate, competitive, and comparable quotes from qualified builders. This detailed set of documents typically includes construction drawings, a full specification of materials and finishes, and a schedule of works. We issue these documents to a curated list of trusted contractors, managing the tender process to ensure fairness and transparency. This crucial stage provides you with cost certainty and a robust contractual foundation, ensuring the construction phase is carried out with the utmost precision and quality.
