A Unique Opportunity

Architectural Service UK (AS) is a unique opportunity, you do not have to be an architect or have any building experience to purchase this franchise which means that relative novices can become part of the architectural service market sector, in the only franchise of its type in the UK today. We provide customers with drawings for planning permission applications and building regulations submissions.

Our Vision

To provide a national service for planning applications and building regulation submissions that is delivered locally, with service levels that set the standards for the industry, making it impossible for our competitors to offer the same service at our pricing levels.

Establish ourselves as the first choice for all sectors of the market place, providing unparalleled service to our regular customers which means we are an integral part of their business that is essential for their growth and profitability. In short to create a national brand that will become a household name that is respected.

Competitive Advantage

With a vision of providing a premium service at an affordable pricing level we must maintain a low cost base. Franchise owners must keep their costs to a minimum, we recommend that franchise owners work from home until the business is built up to a sufficient level that it can support additional overheads. It can be operated from home and does not need expensive offices or administration staff. We offer a seven day plan service and online tracking of planning and building regulation applications through our unique website.

When establishing a new business you need to have unique selling points (USP) when trying to break into an established market place. Architectural Services has many unique selling points and in a climate where customers are looking to reduce their costs on projects, there has never been a better time to establish a local Architectural Services franchise. All of the work within AS is self generated which means you do not have spend money on expensive local advertising, meaning that overheads are incredibly low. Add to this the fact that there are no management or royalty fees at all, and the marketing fees are covered in the initial franchise fee in year one and only 2.5% in year two and beyond, the payback on the initial franchise fee can be measured in months rather than years.
