Planning, Building Regulations & Technical Drawing Specialists

Planning & Building Regulations — From Survey to Approval

For many clients, navigating Planning and Building Regulations can be one of the most complicated parts of a construction project. We make the process as straightforward as possible.

Kentec can manage the drawing and application process from start to finish. We'll visit and survey the property, discuss what you want to achieve, develop the proposed design and prepare the drawings required for your application.

We can then submit the application on your behalf, liaise with the relevant authority and respond to queries or drawing amendments as the application progresses.

Once planning requirements have been addressed, we can prepare the detailed technical drawings required for Building Regulations and manage the Building Control application.

Our services cover projects including:

• House extensions and alterations
• Loft conversions
• New-build homes
• Residential developments
• Commercial buildings
• Offices
• Schools
• Warehouses
• Industrial buildings

From an individual homeowner improving their property to builders and developers delivering projects valued at up to £5 million, the same principle applies: clear advice, accurate drawings and practical support throughout the process.

More Than Just Drawings

A good set of drawings needs to work in the real world.

Having worked within the construction industry since 1972, Kentec brings broad practical knowledge to every project. We understand how buildings are put together, how different trades interact and what contractors need from technical information once work reaches site.

That wider experience allows us to look beyond the drawing itself and help identify practical solutions as a project develops.

It's also why many builders, developers and contractors have continued working with Kentec for more than a decade.

Mechanical & Electrical Drawings

Alongside our architectural work, we provide professional M&E CAD drawing services for mechanical and electrical contractors, consultants and construction companies.

Using AutoCAD, we produce clear and accurate drawings suitable for construction, coordination, installation and record purposes across residential, commercial and industrial projects.

Our construction knowledge means we understand the importance of producing drawings that aren't simply technically correct on screen, but clear and practical for the people who need to use them on site.

Steelwork & Fabrication Drawings

Kentec also provides steelwork and fabrication drawings for builders, contractors and fabricators.

Our experience of construction detailing allows us to produce accurate, practical drawings to support the manufacture and installation of structural and fabricated components.

Whether the requirement forms part of one of our own projects or is a standalone drawing package, our team can work with the information provided to produce the technical drawings required.

Established in 1972. Built Around Construction.

Kentec began as a family business in 1972 and has been providing professional drawing services to the construction industry ever since.

The business was acquired from its original founder in 2014, beginning the next chapter in Kentec's history while retaining the practical, personal approach on which the company was built.

Today, we're a close-knit team of four providing specialist drawing and application services throughout Kent, London and the South East.

Our long history gives us a depth of construction knowledge that can't be gained from software alone. At the same time, remaining a small specialist team means our clients receive a responsive and personal service from people who understand their project.
