Serving Bristol · Online
Arkiplan is an online architectural design service for Bristol 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.
Bristol’s hilly Victorian terraces — Totterdown, Bedminster, Bishopston — lend themselves to rear and side-return extensions and loft conversions, often squeezing real space from awkward plots.
Clifton, the harbourside and several central areas are conservation areas where permitted development is restricted, so it is worth checking your street before you plan. We confirm the position and design around it.
Whatever your project, it is designed and submitted the same simple way — from wherever you are.
Yes. Arkiplan is an online architectural design service working across England and Wales, including Bristol and the surrounding area. Your design is done over video, with a single 3D Home Scan of your property.
Applications go to Bristol City Council. Clifton and several central areas are conservation areas where permitted development is limited, so we check your street first.
It depends on the size and your property. Many single-storey rear extensions are permitted development, but parts of Bristol such as Clifton are conservation areas where those rights are restricted. We confirm exactly which route applies to your address before drawing anything.
We arrange one 3D Home Scan of your property to capture it accurately. Everything after that — design calls, drawings and submission — is handled remotely, so you do not need to take time off for office visits.
The price is the same wherever you are — a single fixed price agreed up front, with no percentage-of-build-cost fees. Use the instant price tool for a tailored range in about 45 seconds.
Yes — we produce building regulations drawings and coordinate structural calculations to England standards, and submit to building control on your behalf.
No call required, no card required — just a tight, fixed-price range tailored to your project, with the planning route confirmed for your address.
This page is general information, not planning advice. Permitted development and planning rules depend on your specific property and local authority and can change. We confirm the current position for your address as part of every project.
