We were recently commissioned to extend a 3 bed house in Quorn, and have just submitted the planning application within 1 month of starting the project. We also produced some nice renderings and and animation to show the client how the extension would look and we also find this helpful in achieving our 100% success rate during planning.

Bi-folding Doors and alternative types solutions

17/12/2017

0 Comments

 
Many of our clients are looking to create larger more open plan living areas, particularly larger Kitchen/ Dining spaces that connect with the garden, and Bifolding doors often come up in conversation, but they are not the only solutions. This is a really interesting article from Houzz discussing some altenratives, and also the merits of Bifolding doors.
Is it Over for Bifold Doors?

Planning Granted for Contemporary extension to Bungalow near Bradgate Park

8/10/2017

0 Comments

 
JRA are pleased to have received full planning with no conditions. We believe that by submitting a well developed deisgn and beautifully presented application with clear drawings and 3d visuals it give us the best chance for our clients to help realise their dreams.

The current owners are seeking to create a partial two storey extension to the bedrooms on the southwest side of the property and remodel the existing house via the addition of a dormer to the current master bedroom (on the northeast side of the building) and the replacement of the existing porch so the house will better suit their family life. The extension will also offer the opportunity to remove and make good the existing extensions (which were poorly built and inherited by the owners) as they extend past and replace them. The original building will be retained and upgraded  both physically and aesthetically throughout the process. In addition the porch will be replaced with a more contemporary usable one.

To COBie or Not To COBie? For Vectorworks Users, That is the Question

22/7/2017

0 Comments

 
In an effort to stimulate discussion on Building Information Modeling (BIM), specifically highlighting how information should be shared and delivered within the UK Government’s digital information requirements, CAD User magazine hosted an event sponsored by Vectorworks titled COBie or not COBie at the London Transport Museum on May 16, 2017.

According to the buildingSMART alliance, COBie (Construction Operations Building information exchange) is an information exchange specification system that helps minimize the amount of paperwork and tracking associated with BIM projects.

The one-day seminar consisted of a series of panels led by industry experts proposing various information delivery and presentation solutions. These panels were then followed by an extensive Q+A forum where seminar attendees could ask more directed, thorough questions.

​
Here are the highlights from the engaging sessions that took place at this well-attended event:
Information is the Key to BIM. But what information, how do we save it, why, and how much? Led by Martyn Horne, Group Product Development Manager, Computers Unlimited, and Jonathan Reeves, Director, Jonathan Reeves Architects (JRA)

To get the ball rolling, Horne and Reeves discussed how information can be stored within a COBie database — making sure to explicitly emphasize that this format is not simply a spreadsheet, but a way to compile building components and associated information into a database that is usable for asset management purposes.

For more information about the COBie or not COBie event, check out this recap by CAD User magazine. And click here to learn more about what BIM can mean in your firm.
