About Vista PPM
Your architect, planning agent and builder, under one roof.
Most building projects run into trouble where one firm hands over to the next: the designer to the council, then the council to the contractor. Our team draws your plans, gets them approved, and builds exactly what was approved, so nothing is lost along the way.
- Drawings that can be built
Our plans are drawn by people who build, so the design works on site as well as on paper.
- Approvals handled for you
We take care of planning, Building Regulations and the council's questions.
- A site you'll be glad to live beside
Our own trades, tidy sites and weekly progress updates.

Why one team
Three firms, three contracts, or one.
Most home projects involve a designer, a planning consultant and a builder. Each handover is another chance for details, costs and deadlines to slip.

Customer feedback
What our clients say about us.
Comments from homeowners across the East Midlands and East of England.
Three extensions for us in five years, efficiently designed, organised and completed. We have recommended them to all our friends and family.
Vista made the design and planning process simple, completing extensions and a landscape project within budget and timescale.
There was good continuity with the build process. Very happy with the results of our new bedroom/ensuite.
Our much-needed disability-friendly wetroom extension and porch, all designed and done with minimum fuss. Very good and friendly team.
Questions
Good questions, straight answers.
Planning rules can be confusing. These are the questions we're asked most on first visits.
Still unsure?Call 01234 567 890 →
Do I need planning permission for an extension? +
Not always. In England, many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, subject to limits on size, height and materials. We check your property at the site visit and tell you which route applies before you spend anything on drawings.
How long does planning take? +
Councils aim to decide most householder applications within 8 weeks of validation. We submit complete, well-drawn applications to avoid delays and respond to planning officers for you.
Can you just do the drawings? +
Yes. Many clients use us only for design and planning, and we're happy to do that. If you do go on to build with us, you'll already know the team.
What's included in your quote? +
Every quote is itemised: groundworks, structure, roof, windows, finishes and any exterior work, each priced separately. You'll see where the money goes, and there are no vague provisional sums.
Do you handle Building Regulations? +
Yes. We prepare the Building Regulations drawings, coordinate structural calculations, and arrange inspections with building control during the build.
