From the first idea and site survey through to planning approval and technical design, M&J Builds can guide your project through every stage of the design and planning process. Working across Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire, we help homeowners turn ideas into beautifully designed spaces that are ready to become reality.
Call Us Email UsYou don’t need to have everything figured out
Some clients come to us with completed drawings and approvals already in place. Others contact us with little more than an idea of what they’d like to change.
M&J Builds can get involved at either stage. We’ll help you understand the practical side of your project, what information may be needed before construction and the next steps towards getting your build underway.
If architectural or specialist input is required, we can work with professionals you’ve already appointed or introduce you to trusted people we regularly work alongside.
OUR PARTNERING SUPPLIERS:
Your project, step by step
Initial Conversation
Tell us what you’re hoping to achieve, your priorities and any plans or ideas you already have.
Site Visit
We can visit your property to understand the existing space, discuss possibilities and consider the practical requirements of the build.
Drawings & Design
If drawings are required, we can work alongside your chosen architect or designer. If you don’t already have one, we can introduce you to trusted professionals we regularly work with.
Planning
Where planning permission is required, the appropriate drawings and information can be prepared for submission to your local authority.
Building Regulations
The project is developed further to ensure the required Building Regulations information is in place before construction.
Technical Information
Structural calculations, specifications and other technical details can be coordinated where required.
Preparing for Construction
We review the information available, discuss the build, costs, practical considerations and any remaining decisions.
Ready to Build
With the necessary drawings, approvals and technical information in place, your project can move confidently into construction.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOUR PROJECT NEEDS
Planning permission, Building Regulations, structured calculations and technical drawings can make the early stages of a building project feel complicated. We can help you understand what may be required, what needs to happen next and which professionals may be involved.
Because we approach the project from a construction perspective, we can also help identify practical considerations at the design stage, saving time and potential issues later on.
DESIGNING WITH CONSTRUCTION IN MIND
With our building experience, we can provide practical input during the design and planning stage. This means we can consider things like buildability, materials, structural requirements, access and budgets from the outset.
Early collaboration helps create a smoother transition from design to construction and reduces the likelihood of costly changes once the build is underway.
Home Extensions
Single and multi-storey extensions designed around how you want to live and use your home. From open plan living spaces to additional bedrooms, we’ll help you plan an extension that works for you.
Renovations & Reconfigurations
Larger projects involving significant alterations, reconfigurations and changes to existing layouts. We can help you explore the possibilities and understand what’s required to bring your ideas to life.
New Builds
Support in preparing larger residential projects for construction. We can help you understand the process and work with the relevant professionals to get your new home off the ground.
Design & Build
A joined-up approach where we can be involved early and continue through to construction. This helps create a more streamlined process and ensures the design, planning and build stages work together.
Construction experience from the very beginning
M&J Builds is led by Michael and James, who work closely together across their projects. By getting experienced builders involved early, you can consider not only how you want your finished space to look, but how it can be realistically constructed.
We’ll help you understand the options, work with professionals involved and keep your project moving towards construction.

Our aim is to make the whole process straightforward, with clear communication and practical advice from the first conversation.
