Introduction

About the Employer
Lawson Architecture is a Hampshire based practice providing services for householder, developer and commercial clients. We pride ourselves on our diverse portfolio, including projects in the residential, sport, leisure, retail and commercial sectors. Householder residential projects involve reconfiguring of internal layouts, extensions of all sizes, through to custom new build houses. We provide a full and comprehensive service covering all our clients’ needs and strive to make the process as simple and effective as possible. Planning advice is a vital part of this process, which we incorporate from the beginning of a project. We aim to be a client’s sole point of contact throughout the design and planning processes, liaising with surveyors, consultants, and local authorities on their behalf. This assists in clearer communication and coordination between those involved in the various aspects of a project. In addition, this removes the need for the client to be involved in the complicated and time consuming aspects of the process. Allowing the client to concentrate on what they are to achieve through the process and their lives in general. Based in Liphook on the Hampshire, Surrey, West Sussex border, we undertake projects in the surrounding areas and further afield, covering a wide range of planning authorities.
