Architectural Rescue in Pemberton: A Case Study

Melrose Designs recently completed an architectural rescue in Pemberton, helping a client who had been abandoned mid-project by their previous architect.

Imagine this: you’ve invested thousands into your dream home extension, trusting an architect to guide you through the process. You’re ready to move forward, but when you ask for updated drawings to resubmit to the council… silence. No emails. No calls. No updates. Just a vanishing act.

That’s exactly what happened to one of our recent clients in Pemberton, and unfortunately, it’s not an isolated case.

At Melrose Designs, we’ve picked up three or four projects recently where homeowners were left stranded mid-process. It’s baffling—and frankly, unprofessional. But we’re here to change that narrative.

Why Melrose Designs Is Different

We believe architecture isn’t just about drawing plans—it’s about building trust. When you work with Melrose Designs, you’re not just hiring a technician. You’re gaining a partner who will walk with you from concept to completion.

      • ✅ Clear communication: We keep you informed every step of the way.

    The Pemberton Project: A Case Study in Reliability

    When our client reached out, they were understandably frustrated. Their previous architect had disappeared after receiving payment, leaving them with incomplete plans and no way forward.

    We stepped in immediately.

    Step 1: Planning Approval

    First, we reviewed the existing documentation and identified what was missing. Our team quickly produced updated drawings and liaised with the local council to secure planning approval. No delays, no drama—just results.

     

    Step 2: Building Regulations Pack

    Next, we prepared a comprehensive building regulations pack, ensuring everything was compliant and ready for the build phase. This included structural details, thermal calculations, and all the technical documentation needed to move forward confidently.

    Step 3: Client Satisfaction

    The client was so thrilled with our service, they gifted us a bottle of Grey Goose vodka—a classy thank-you we won’t forget! But more importantly, they were finally able to start building their dream extension, stress-free.
