Perhaps you are a builder who is looking to build a small development scheme of 1-10 houses, or perhaps you are an individual wishing to build your future home, either way we can help with the design and layout of your project, providing planning, building control and technical design assistance.
We can carry out a site appraisal of your plot for a new build. We can do this in advance of the land purchase or once you are in possession of land with or without permission to develop. Appraising land for building a home involves looking at aspects such as location, proximity of nearby buildings, flood risks, access onto the site, provisions of services, development potential, existing features of the site and legislation and planning policies that may apply.
Concept designs based on your brief can be executed and from this we can look at optimal layout options, ideal aspects to maximise sunlight, selection and use of materials, energy performance requirements, importance of thermal comfort, energy types available for heating and hot water, aesthetic preferences, specific living needs and your design choices.

Innovative and Sustainable Architectural Techniques for Self Build Homes
We have experience in designing and overseeing various house construction techniques, including traditional masonry cavity wall construction, timber frame construction, as well as modular panel construction, however we are always interested in learning new and innovative ways of building and are here to help you achieve your desired finished home whatever the chosen build method.
We prioritise energy efficiency and sustainable design and possess expertise in creating intricately insulated and advanced projects that significantly reduce energy consumption compared to buildings constructed to meet the bare minimum requirements of building regulations. While we can certainly adhere to the minimum standards mandated by building regulations, we believe that it is far more desirable to live in a home that demands less energy, especially considering the rising cost of energy.
In order to facilitate a seamless design process, we actively coordinate and collaborate with consultants at each stage. If necessary, we can initiate a formal tender process to select suitable builders, contractors, and tradespeople, while also supplying them with pertinent and comprehensive technical details. We are able to provide on site assistance during the construction stages and help ensure a smooth build process right up to completion.
How can we help?
We have experience of working on self build projects designed and built to Passivhaus standards and enjoy guiding and working with clients on their journey to help achieve an energy efficient and sustainable home.
The necessary documentation to apply for planning permission and building regulations approval can be produced by us to agreed timescales, liaising with you at critical points of the process.
Utilising building information modelling software enables us to create a digital 3D model of your home which can be interrogated to extract useful information on areas, measurements of specific parts and views of critical junctions.
We will liaise with energy consultants so that we can provide options of ways to limit energy consumption with the view to provide a sustainable home.
GO Architecture can work with you to carefully tailor the design to your personal preferences dependant on your budget, taste and style.
