Serving Birmingham · Online
Arkiplan is an online architectural design service for Birmingham homeowners — the practical alternative to a traditional high-street architect. Planning drawings, building regs and structural work, designed with you over video and delivered at a fixed price.
Birmingham’s mix of interwar semis and Victorian terraces lends itself well to side and rear extensions and loft conversions — the bread-and-butter projects that add a bedroom or open up the back of the house.
