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 Troon?
In Troon, 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). Building costs in Scotland are close to the UK average, so the figures for Troon are close to our national guide. Council application fees are extra.

Your quote will depend mainly on:
- Structural engineer’s fees
- 3D visuals
- Number of design options
- Measured survey complexity
A guide range is only a starting point: the guide price tool gives an instant figure for your size, and a free survey turns it into a fixed quote.
Planning and building regulations in Troon
Here is how the rules work for a set of architectural drawings in Scotland. In Scotland drawings are prepared for the planning application and the building warrant, which must be granted before work starts.
Scotland has no Party Wall Act. Work on shared walls is governed by your title deeds, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 for flats, and common law, so we agree arrangements with neighbours in writing before work starts.
At the survey we check your house’s planning history and any restrictions, and tell you which route applies.
What we handle
Handled as part of most architectural drawings:
- Measured survey of the existing house
- Written agreement with neighbours on shared walls
- Building regulations drawings and specification
- 3D views on request
- Planning drawings: plans, elevations, site and location plans
- Tender-ready drawing pack
How long does it take?
Allow 2 to 6 weeks for drawings, depending on complexity. If the drawings are for a planning application, add the council’s decision period once they are submitted.
