How much cheaper is The Plan Pal than an architect or designer?
Our fixed prices are at least 50% below typical UK fees. A complete planning and building regs pack for a single-storey extension is £1,195, against a typical £2,500–£5,000 from an architect. Garden designs start at £145 and room designs at £95.
Can I use more than one service on the same project?
Yes, and it's often the best way. Tell us everything you're planning in one email and we'll send one combined quote, with the drawings joined up so the extension, the rooms and the garden all fit together.
Do you visit my home?
No. Every service works from your photos, measurements and description, which is how we keep prices low. If anything's unclear, we email you for more.
Why is it so much cheaper?
No site visits, no project management and no mark-ups. We produce the drawings and plans, and you do the submitting, buying and hiring yourself.
When should I use an architect or designer instead?
For complex, high-end, listed or green belt projects, or if you want someone to come up with the ideas and run the whole job. We'll tell you before you pay anything if your project is better suited to them.
Which areas do you cover?
Planning and building regs drawings anywhere in England, and garden and interior design anywhere in the UK. With no site visits, location makes no difference to the price.
Can builders and trades use you?
Yes. Builders, landscapers, fitters and developers can open one trade account across all three services, with trade rates agreed with you and priority in the queue.
