Design Only Service

At Healy McKeown Architects, we take pride in our role as expert designers, and are committed to crafting unique and tailored schemes for each client. In residential design, we firmly reject the notion that “one size fits all” and meticulously customise each proposal to the individual, considering the specific characteristics of your site, locality, and personal circumstances.


Your home is more than just blocks and mortar and is one of the most personal spaces you’ll ever design. Recognising the significance of this personal space, we approach our designs with a deep understanding that success stems from close engagement during the design stage. At Healy McKeown Architects, we listen and collaborate closely with our clients to ensure that every detail aligns with their vision and needs.


While providing a comprehensive range of services from concept to completion, we recognise the pivotal role the design phase plays in unlocking the potential of your project. Despite typically representing less than 1% of your total project expenditure, the design phase is often underestimated in terms of the benefits it can bring to your project. In response, we’ve tailored a dedicated design-only package, ensuring every client has the opportunity to collaborate with an architect and fully maximise their project’s potential. Included in our tailored design-only service is:


·      Free initial consultation (video call/ phone call)

·      Site Visit

·      Advice on Brief Preparation

·      Brief Meeting

·      Up to 3 Drafts of your Scheme

·      A 3D Video Model of the proposal

·      Printed Drawing Booklets

·      CAD Drawings



If you're intrigued by the prospect of having Healy McKeown Architects contribute to your project, whether you're looking to unlock your home's potential, curious about our services from afar, or have enlisted another professional but desire that wow factor, our design-only service might be the solution you're seeking. Don't hesitate to contact our team through our dedicated contact page, where we can provide you with a tailored quote to suit your needs.  We're here to assist and discuss the exciting possibilities with you.

Plan Review Service

Is there a design currently in progress for your project?

Unsure if it fully aligns with your brief or lacks the wow factor you envisioned?

Interested in exploring space-saving possibilities?

Disappointed with the look and feel of your scheme?

Concerned about inefficient use of space and unnecessary expense?

Or simply seeking a second opinion?


If your answer to any of the above questions is “Yes,” then our design review service may be the solution you're looking for. Tailored for those already underway with a project, this service offers an opportunity to discuss your plans and receive a second opinion from one of our architects.

All we request is for you to share your current proposals with us (in the strictest confidence). We'll then review this information, and schedule a video call to delve into the scheme, allowing us to discuss your concerns and highlight areas we feel could be improved to enhance the design. These insights can then be used to engage with your original architect or designer, providing clarity on your vision and potentially unlocking the full potential of your new build or extension.
