What is a set of architectural drawings?
Architectural design turns your ideas into drawings that a council and a builder can work from. It starts with a measured survey of the house, then design options, planning drawings and, once approved, detailed building regulations drawings and specifications.
How much does a set of architectural drawings cost in Prestatyn?
In Prestatyn, a set of architectural drawings typically costs £1,500–£4,250 for planning and building regulations drawings for a typical extension, including VAT at 20% (standard rate). That range is adjusted for Wales, where domestic building work typically costs around 8% below the national average. Council application fees are extra.

Planning and building regulations in Prestatyn
Before anything is built in Prestatyn, we confirm which approvals apply in Wales. In Wales drawings are prepared to suit the council’s validation requirements and Welsh building regulations.
Building regulations in Wales are set by the Welsh Government. Approval comes from the council’s building control service or a registered building control approver, with inspections during the work and a completion certificate at the end.
Our first visit includes a check of your planning history, so you know the route before paying for drawings.
