DLP Design Ltd.

Since its foundation in 1900 DLP Design Ltd has enjoyed a considerable local and regional reputation for good design practice, based on practical considerations and combined with an understanding of commercial and financial constraints. High professional standards and enthusiasm for detail in projects both large and small, are the principles on which the Practice has been built.

DLP Design Ltd, now an integral part of the DLP Consulting Group, provides an established reputation for high quality design and building solutions. The architectural team provide a full design and supervisory service, ranging from conceptual design through to construction drawings and supervision. In addition the Company has considerable experience of historic buildings and conservation area matters, ranging from pure design to building supervision. The design service has now been expanded to include related skills of urban design and master planning and landscape architecture.

Specialist staff in these areas work closely with planning colleagues and others, so as to provide a focused service and skill base. Delivering good design requires a greater synergy between architecture and planning. Improving, redefining and regenerating the built environment and spaces, and making more efficient use of land and buildings, can be achieved through better design – better design of places, the spaces around buildings and the buildings themselves – which is one of the principle objectives of sustainable development.

We undertake a wide range of project types, working with a diversity of different clients. We do not believe in the imposition of standard solutions and on any project we endeavour to obtain a full understanding of our client’s requirements to enable us to design a scheme which will fully meet their needs. We work closely with fellow professionals and experts in their specific fields related to building performance and finance, and will discuss and arrange comprehensive co–ordinated teams to suit the particular project.

We are flexible in terms of the route of procurement, either structured around the RIBA Plan of Work or a tailored alternative and we pride ourselves on the ability to build up close associations with clients to understand their requirements whatever the route of instruction. As a result, many Clients have commissioned further buildings from us, and additionally we act for them in an advisory capacity on feasibility studies, preliminary site evaluation, technical input and other related matters.

In all projects, the Company emphasises the importance of the personal relationship with its clients in providing clear advice at the outset of a project, by keeping the client informed of progress at all times, including those occasions where unforeseen events conspire to alter the course of development promotion and, overall, ultimately to secure the most satisfactory outcome in respect of each instruction.

3 Dimensional Cad Illustration has developed significantly over recent years and as a result become virtually an inherent part of the normal design process, whether in the creation of block models to illustrate the concept of the scheme and inter–relationships of elements, or the fully worked up photo–realisation of a project, with degrees of presentation in between.

This facility enables Clients who may not be able to fully visualise two dimensional drawings, and to appreciate and understand the proposals at an earlier stage. This same presentation enables Planners and lay Committees to assist in the justification of the scheme to a far greater degree, prior to a planning decision. DLP Design Ltd have the capability to provide this service as part of the in–house design services, or as an additional cost option.

Interior Design is as much a part of the design process as the structure or the appearance of the building. It also covers the refurbishment and upgrading of existing buildings, whether for the same or different uses.

DLP Design Ltd can offer a full interior Design Service for all types of facilities including bespoke fittings, fabrics and furnishings and these services can be integrated into the 3 dimensional illustration.
