GET THE CORRECT ADVICE BEFORE YOU START!
Blindly engaging on design and drawing work before knowing the relevant issues applicable to your scheme (Planning and Building Regulations) can be a costly mistake for any home or business owner. The Christopher Hunt Practice fully understands this and has developed a unique 'pre-design assessment and report service' where we will come and visit your site, spend time listening to your needs and requirements. We will then analyse the site specific issues relating to Planning & Building Regulations & explain in detail how these may affect your building scheme together with an options list for your consideration. Unless you are able to properly 'risk assess' the proposed building scheme & consider all the 'options' together with a complete 'check-list' of the 'relevant issues' applicable to your site that the Council normally expect to be included or accommodated, then you run a serious risk of incurring abortive fees & wasted time for the required drawings & specifications.
Should you then decide to engage The Christopher Hunt Practice (CHP) for
the full Architectural Services then you can choose to pay his fee in either
normal or trade pounds (subject to current workload).
For this initial service for Barter Card Clients, the following fixed fee applies:- Site visit within 20 mile radius of Marlow or Bournemouth :- £T120.00 Site visit within 40 Mile radius of Marlow or Bournemouth :- £T160.00 Site visit within 60 Mile radius of Marlow or Bournemouth :- £T200.00 Site visit up to 100 mile radius of Marlow or Bournemouth :- £T300.00

ABOUT US
CHP can advise you if a development proposal requires planning permission. CHP can also suggest changes which would make your proposals more acceptable, increasing the likelihood of planning permission being granted. Applying for planning permission can be a complex process and it is often easier appointing an agent to submit the application on your behalf. CHP will produce the necessary drawings, specifications & supporting information for a planning application, including a design statement justifying your proposal where applicable. CHP will progress the application, negotiate with the Local Planning Authority and deal swiftly with any problems that may arise. CHP is run by an experienced Architectural Technologist who is a member of the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists and has extensive and wide ranging experience gained in Local Authority Planning & Building Control Departments. At CHP mostly everything is done by personal attention (site visits & meetings), by post, e-mail, fax and phone. We work fast, meet deadlines and guarantee that our advice is independent and given in good faith. We believe in long-term relationships with our clients and offer a very professional service with real help and comprehensive guidance.
We are competitively priced, we're friendly and give you a simple promise
that you'll get a friendly, honest, reliable and supportive service from
the moment you get in touch.
OUR AREAWe are based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire & together with an Office in Bournemouth. We regularly prepare & submit schemes for Planning & Building Regulations within a 50 mile radius encompassing the following Local Authorities:-
Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead. South Bucks District Council. Chiltern District Council. South Oxfordshire District Council. Bournemouth Borough Council & surrounding areas. Through our services for some National clients, we have also prepared & submitted schemes for sites nationwide & we have discovered that apart from a few characteristic differences, most Local Authorities & their processes are pretty much the same, so being outside your 'local patch' makes very little difference to performance.
HISTORY
The common mis-used term for a person offering Architectural Services is an 'Architect'. CHP is not an Architect as this term is protected by Royal Charter but he is a fully qualified Architectural Technologist. Our professional body C.I.A.T. (formerly BIAT) actively promotes self employed Architectural Technologists/Technicians in private practice. We have a strict code of conduct & must maintain a high degree of professionalism & professional indemnity insurance. Over the years, CHP has dealt with a diverse & varied range of buildings, extensions, conversions & rehabilitations. From the simplest porch to listed barn conversions; loft conversions; swimming pool complexes; single storey to 3 storey extensions; new houses from single plots to select developments; domestic & commercial etc. have all been catered for by CHP.

Wycombe
District Council.
The Christopher Hunt
Practice (CHP) is owned by Christopher Hunt as a sole trader. The practice
was formed in 1980 offering Architectural Services to the public & the
trade on a part time basis. In the mid eighties, Christopher Hunt left the
Planning Dept. of Wycombe District Council to become fully self employed
& to concentrate on the expanding business. The Practice expanded in
the late eighties to a small family team of 3 Technicians. In 1992 the Practice
consolidated due to the recession & is again run by Christopher Hunt
as a sole trader with contract assistance from his father (also an Architectural
Technician) at peak times. CHP is a successful Practice due to the variety
of design work undertaken & is capable of absorbing most development
trends.
Christopher
Hunt is a qualified Architectural Technologist & is a full corporate
member of C.I.A.T (The Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists).
Christopher will give a 'no nonsense' approach to design advice & has
a reputation for being blunt & 'telling it like it is'. Christopher is
prepared to lose a commission from a client for stating his honest opinion
on design & Planning matters rather than to offer false hope on a dubious
project. CHP has built a very substantial client base over the last 25 years
which has proved to be invaluable in maintaining demand for Architectural
Services without the need for any major advertising. Christopher sincerely
believes that client satisfaction & offering best value is the key for
continued business success.
