1. Architectural Design Services

Anthony Wan Design & Draught provides architectural design and consultancy services that aim to meet current UK Building Regulations, planning policy requirements, and applicable industry standards. We deliver services in good faith and to a high professional standard. However, we cannot guarantee outcomes due to the following limitations:

Key Risks and Limitations:

• Design Interpretation: We are not liable for how our designs are interpreted, altered, or executed by third-party contractors, suppliers, or consultants.
  
  

• Regulatory Changes: Designs reflect laws and codes at the time of issue. Future regulatory changes may affect compliance and necessitate redesigns, for which we accept no responsibility.
  
  

• Execution and Workmanship: We are not responsible for construction quality or decisions made on site by others.
  
  

• External Consultants: Where third-party engineers, surveyors, or specialists are involved, their services are independent and subject to their own professional terms and liabilities.
  
  

• Site Factors: Hidden or unforeseen site conditions (e.g. soil quality, underground services, or structural issues) may affect feasibility and are beyond our control.
  
  

• Planning & Approvals: While we support planning and building control submissions, approval remains at the discretion of the local authority. No guarantee of approval or timing is made.
  
  

• Budget and Cost Estimates: Estimates are indicative only. Market fluctuations, contractor pricing, or client scope changes may significantly affect costs.
