Appointing CK Architectural South Yorkshire to assist with your new house or self-build designs across Sheffield, Doncaster, Barnsley, Rotherham and the rest of the county will not only give you a dream home, but will also give you an amazing feeling of satisfaction along with a huge boost to your finances.
We guarantee to offer you the best advice right from the start, with a team of local professionals and a national network of expertise at your service. We will face all the challenges a new site brings and along with meeting your own needs, we will also work in line with what the local planning department allows within their local and strategic plans.
Across the region more areas are getting unlocked to cater for the ever-growing housing need of the country. We have a step by step procedure which will prevent you from committing too much time and money without knowing all the facts and the likelihood of success.
Project brief
So that we can fully understand what you want to achieve from the new self-build house design and the project, we will carefully discuss with you your requirements against the potential of any given site.
Whether you’re looking for the potential a project has with the numbers that will be going into it, or you need a more developed plan to pinpoint design preferences, we can help.
CK Architectural have in-depth knowledge of the national housing guide and planning policies required and we will work with you to see if the site will be able to meet your needs.
Feasibility study
CK Architectural won’t ask for large fees to undertake a basic feasibility study for your self-build or new build project. We want to ensure all limitations are explored, and we will look at the site and planning history to determine its past and explore the surrounding areas to get as much information as we can to save time and money.
When this is completed, we can supply you with the right information before going any further.
Pre-planning application advice
When you are happy with the feasibility report, we will then move forward and produce a concept design. This will be based around the Project Brief and in line with the Feasibility Study.
Again, at this stage in the process we want to keep you fully informed of what you can achieve for the budget and space you have available.
Once you are happy with the outline design, we can submit a pre-application on your behalf to the local authority planning department where we will then gain a full list of reasons for and against developing on the site. Also, at this stage we will receive a full list of requirements and or restrictions so that we can submit your full planning application.
As our working relationship with the South Yorkshire Council is going from strength to strength, we always receive a positive service from them.
Full planning applications
When the positive pre-application list is received, we can then develop your design with you. All necessary requirements will be considered from plot size down to the lighting and parking. Your new build or self-build home(s) can then be designed with detailing that ensures you reach the maximum potential for both value and environment.
Once the design is approved, we will then take care of any 3rd party requirements (heritage, design access etc.) before we submit the application. CK Architectural will work with you and your planning officers throughout the whole process and take care of any amendments needed for you to gain approval.

This is the second project I have used CK Architects on and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or to recommend them to others. Karen is highly professional, friendly, and quick, listened to our requirements and acted on everything so beautifully. We are very impressed with the fast, efficient service provided by CK Architectural Design staff members.
Exactly what I wanted. No sales rubbish, no broken promises. They did exactly what I asked for, right first time, for the exact price quoted. I'd definitely use the company again.
Excellent service and communication. The company correctly and quickly identified my requirements, and worked accurately and within (very reasonable) quotation. Any queries and additional dimensions or details which the design engineer had, were clearly requested, allowing me to be able to quickly furnish the exact information and measurements, and negating the need for site visits, thus keeping costs in check. The first draft of the engineering drawings were very impressive - as a project engineer involved in the materials handling industry, I am well used to working with and interpreting CAD drawings, so was able to appreciate the high level of detail and clarity therein. I have been pleased and impressed with the service provided and care taken by CK Architectural, in bringing this part of my project to a successful conclusion - the Local Authority Building Control department accepted the drawings and specifications at first draft, without any amendments or changes. I am happy to recommend this company to anyone seeking a friendly, helpful, skilled and professional service.
CK Architectural led us through our whole project of two significant extensions from start to finish. At the outset during concept the input was both practical and creative. Several of our own ideas were improved upon and other ideas added. The creation of the designs was collaborative with CKA listening to our needs and wishes and incorporating them as practically possible. The budget was agreed with CKA and they kept a tight lid on the finances. The initial plan was actually built within budget, and we just crept over due to a couple of unforeseen changes, such as the roof tiles to match current being discontinued and therefore we chose to have a new roof. CKA made frequent visits to site and it always felt as if they had the project under control. It is not until you embark upon a venture such as this, as a novice, that you realise how complex it all is. However, with CKA leading the way on drawing completion, obtaining planning permission, appointing reputable contractors and managing Building Control eveything felt smooth and was stress free for us as the client. For the service we received we thought CKS priced their involvement very fairly.
CK Architectural where very thorough, professional and prompt when drawing up our plans, providing options and guidance when choosing & deciding what would work best with the space created. Any additional questions/queries where also answered straight away and always provided useful information. Very pleased with the service received and have recommended to friends and family.

Positive: ProfessionalismChris gave a brilliant service for our loft conversion design, including all planning details for the local authority, and completion of working drawings. the service was without question excellent, especially since this was all through a pandemic. Thankyou

Great service - innovative thinking and timely responses. Can’t wait for the next project they can help me with! Would not hesitate to recommend.
Enjoyed working with CK on our loft conversion, kept us updated along the way and very happy with the outcome and the service. Would highly recommend
I have used CK Architectural for numerous project over the past few years and find them to be attentive, conscientious and very reliable. And most of all they offer excellent value for money.
For someone far removed from the building / planning industries the thought of where to start when thinking of a big extension project to my house (two story to the side and wrap around of semi-detached 3 bed) was a little daunting at first. Luckily, after obtaining a competitive quote, I enlisted the services of CK Architectural and have been very impressed with not only the service received but the ease at which they have made the whole process. After listening to my thoughts and the reasons for needing the extension work doing, the architect came up with a great design that encompassed everything that was needed. Even when I changed my mind over a couple of aspects, Donna, Chris and the team were quick to administer any alterations. Every visit to the house for measurements / planning etc has happened without a hitch with all members of the team we've encountered being punctual and professional at all times. The best thing has been by far the ease at which CK have made of getting all council and local authority sign off for the project. All I have needed to do is pay the fees at the required time, no stress involved and all went through seamlessly. I'm now at the stage where I have the drawings to hand and have submitted them to builders to obtain quotes. Importantly, the feedback so far from the builders indicates the project to be within the budget specifications I explained to CK during the first consultation. Very happy customer 🙂 Carl.
Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueHighly recommend CK Architectural. Chris and his team did a great job gaining planning permission for a new build and renovation of an existing property. We hit some dead ends with the planning officer but Chris found different ways of getting around the problems without going over budget.
We have use the team at CK Architectural on 2 projects of ours over the years. They have never let us down. They have always worked with us to produce the designs we wanted and handled everything for us through the Planning and Building Control stage, keeping us updated at the carious stages. We will most certainly use again if we decide to do another project.
Proffesional, helpful & a great price. Produced hard copies & electronic of everything we needed. What more could you ask for .
Chris’ attention to detail and professionalism was second to none. I would highly recommend him and his Company.
Brilliant company, great service from start to finish, cant recommend highly enough.
