COVID-19

As of 29th March 2021, Bondstones continue to take advice in respect of how we deal with the evolving COVID situation.  Our team remain instructed to take the potential threat very seriously - however this does not mean that work will stop and we will continue to work as normally as we can,

As you can imagine, we are now quite used to working remotely - however, some circumstances remain outside of our control and will inevitably impact workflows.  We have well established in-house systems in place which will allow us to carry on with limited impact - irrespective of where our team are located...

The team have been advised that if they feel even slightly unwell they are to self-isolate as necessary OR to take whatever approach Government requires at the time... 
We ask our clients to do the same!

We have the facility to host meetings with clients remotely (either by phone, semaphore or video chat) and will do so where practicable / necessary.  Site surveys and any work which requires no or limited contact, especially that which is undertaken outdoors, will proceed as normal on the whole.  Dynamic risk assessments are undertaken by the team in every case.

In the meantime. thank you for your patience & stay well!

Together we'll unlock the full potential of your property...

We are here to help...

Bondstones are specialists in all aspects of rural planning and design; we generally focus our attention on 'change of use' and rural development projects.  In summary, we provide a complete 'one-stop-shop' for planning and architecture - and deliver results for off the beaten track projects in locations across the West-Country - especially those secluded areas which are surrounded by green-fields and tall hedges...

Industrial estate in Epsom?  Forget it...
Need advice on an Urban Expansion Project?  Not our bag...
Have an 'exciting' new hotel opportunity in Swindon Town Centre?  Er,,, No thanks...

Replacement dwelling in an isolated location? Woohoo!
Buying a redundant mill to convert into a super-cool contemporary dwelling?  You betcha!
'Class R' permitted development - rural business units?  Absolutely!
Creating a wedding venue out in the sticks?  Try and stop us!
Need a new agricultural workers dwelling in rural Devon? Sa...weet!
Setting up a high quality tourism venture in the woods?  ...is like our bread and butter...

And so it goes...

We trust that our website will help you understand who we are, where we operate and the services we offer... but most importantly it should give you confidence to pick up the phone and get in touch... One of our team is always on call to discuss your situation, to provide preliminary recommendations and valuable insight before you proceed any further.

If you need more detailed information or site specific advice we are happy to help at any stage - whether you are only just starting your new adventure or if you've previously acted on professional 'advice' but hit the buffers...

Whatever your situation... we're here and ready for you - and look forward to speaking with you soon.

Regulated by THe Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors

Bondstones is a regulated firm of Chartered Surveyors - specialising in "Town & Country Planning" (emphasis on "country"!) and Architectural Design.  Our head-office is based in the West-Country and we typically work in the geographical area between Lands End and London.  However, on occasion, we also work further afield...

We are extremely proud to be 'Regulated by the RICS' - this means we are a professionally qualified and regulated practice - bound by a code of conduct, strict rules and regulations. This means that we will only undertake work which is directly within our field(s) of expertise and that we are also fully insured (both Professional Indemnity and Public / Employers Liability).

Our team are passionate about architecture and the countryside, its' sustainable future and re-use of rural buildings:  We offer our professional expertise to satisfy a range of rural property issues, including (but not limited to) Planning Consultancy and Architectural Design / Architecture.  Our primary interest is in the delivery of sustainable projects - and particularly the 'change of use' of buildings & land.

Despite our cutting edge offer and market leading output quality, our services are available to all of our customers at surprisingly low rates - especially compared to our competitors.  OK, its true to say you will always find someone cheaper... but isn't that always the way!

Our philosophy is to provide objective advice from the outset - indeed may of our new clients are amazed at the level of advice that we offer at first contact... Our overriding mission is to "quote high and bill low - providing valuable advice and exceptional design - which should delight our clients at every opportunity"

We generally undertake work for:
  • Farmers & Farm Businesses
  • Rural Estates / Estate Managers
  • Equestrian Properties & Businesses
  • Home / Property Owners*
  • Tourism Entrepreneurs
  • Countryside Attractions & Recreation Sites

* Please note that 'small' extensions are not really our cup of tea... However if necessary we would be happy to refer you to a suitable 3rd party specialist.

That said, large, unique extensions and complete 'one off' domestic overhauls really do float our boat... so please get in touch!
