Savage Chadwick Hutchinson Lymath Chartered Architects intends to build upon this award-winning, design-led practice in the northwest of England. We are committed to maintaining the highest quality of design and ‘usability’ of space within our client’s budget. We believe there is no single solution to any problem, but rather we explore a range of options in order to find the most appropriate answer

We take a personal approach to each commission, working hand in hand with our clients throughout the duration of a project, and are pleased to undertake projects of any type and in any location.  The following is a list of some of the projects which we have undertaken :-

Private houses
Housing developments
Barn Conversions
Hotels, Guest Houses, pubs and restaurants
Outward Bound Centres
Cinemas
Libraries
Museums
Boathouses
Retail developments
Community centres
Speculative and bespoke office units
Factories
Health centres/doctors’ surgeries
Sports halls and gymnasia

We have extensive experience of working both inside and outside the Lake District National Park.  Our involvement in your project can be at any stage from inception, through procurement to completion, including :-

Feasibility studies and project/site appraisal
Assistance in the development of the brief
Preparation of initial, ‘sketch’ proposals for discussion purposes and/or Outline Planning Permission applications
Detailed design proposals, suitable for Full Planning Permission applications
Production of detailed drawings for Building Regulations applications and, subsequently, construction purposes
Advice on the need for other consultants, and integration of their services
Advice on procurement methods and construction contracts to ensure the client’s peace of mind
Preparation of documentation for seeking competitive tenders from prospective contractors;  evaluation of the tenders and appointment of the successful contractor
Administration of a building contract and regular site inspections throughout construction work
Certification of stage payments to the contractor

Due to our office’s ninety year history we are, in addition, considerably aided by an extensive archive of historical drawings of many properties around the Lake District, which were designed by the predecessors.
