about us.
Swoon Architecture is a sister company to STAAC – founded specially for trade.
Swoon Architecture has a team of qualified specialists in design, survey, planning applications and building regulations, including structural calculations. We are currently number 1 in the UK and have won many awards for our work including
“Best Architectural Planning & Structural Engineering Company – London & Home Counties” at the Build Architecture Awards 2019.
My name is Ashley Renton and I have been in the building and planning trade for many years with successes in both commercial and residential property.
I have recently been able to increase my portfolio and turnover by collaborating with building companies under the Design & Build banner.
Design & Build is a project delivery system used in the construction industry. We want to deliver a service in which the design and construction services are contracted by a single entity – known as a design-build contractor.
With design-build methods we can work shoulder-to-shoulder with builders in real time and avoid the common miscommunications that can occur within a set of construction documents.
Working together with builders will save time, money and more importantly minimise costly disputes. More profit for us and the builder, happier clients and better jobs.
Want to know how you can become a design & Build company?
How many times are you asked to give a quote, only to find that the customer has no realistic idea of what can be built? They then ask for a “ballpark figure”, which you can’t do without the planning drawings, therefore ending up wasting your time and money…
With Design and Build there is a solution! We can turn these initial enquiries into business for you, for free and with no catch.
Step 1. You get an enquiry about a job. On site the client is not really sure exactly what they want. They need plans and calculations.
Step 2. Being partnered with Swoon Design & Build means you will have access to a team that can create the plans and drawings for your client. This will enable you to give an accurate realistic quote for the job.
Step 3. Swoon will design the plans for your client, therefore turning your business into a Design & Build company. All drawings and calculations will be under your company name.
Step 4. You invoice the client 100% for this package, we then invoice you for 80%, which means you get 20% profit.
Step 5. It really is that simple. It’s a way that both sides of the process of extending and converting homes can work for both of us. We design and you build!
We understand this is a “leap of faith” but we have many testimonials to prove that Design & Build works. Not only will it increase your potential income but it will also push your company to the next level.
New client has no plans and asking for a quote?
With the Design & Build service Swoon will draw up all plans and structural calculations for your client, on your behalf, which will then enable you to give an honest and realistic quote.
How often do you run out of time and over budget?
With the Design & Build service this will no longer be a problem because there will be specific plans in place before you start. This will lead to happier clients and more recommendations.
Everything is done under your name
The client has a single point of contact for the entire project making their life easier and hassle free. Everything is done under your company name. We'll put your company logo on the drawings so 100% of the credit goes to you.

Why you should join Design & build
Accurate
Your clients will be happier with one point of contact and knowing that they have accurate plans in place from the start.
It's all in the detail
Attention to detail is critical when planning. Just as much as weight-limits for RSJs and load-bearing walls. We take pride in good planning and open, transparent communication throughout our engagement with our partners and their clients.
The Best Partners
We’re confident you won’t find another specialist who can go from briefing to faultless technical drawings and through to planning as quickly as we can.
Cost - effective
We have a fixed menu of fees to deliver value with no hidden extras.
Testimonials.
Partnering up with the Swoon Architectural Team has made a big difference to my company. I was sceptical at first but after the initial 6 months my turnover had increased by 55%. I am now employing more construction workers and working on better quality jobs – mainly through word of mouth. Myself and my team are reaping the benefits!

Since I’ve started with Design & Build my company’s reputation has improved and I’m getting more quality clients. This means more money and more jobs for me. Since I run a brand new company this progress is phenomenal to me. Soon I’ll be able to start picking jobs.
