About PLC Architects

Founded in 1990, PLC Architects has a long-standing reputation for delivering high-quality, design-led architectural solutions across the UK. With offices in Portsmouth, London and Chichester, we work nationally, combining thoughtful design with practical, cost-effective delivery.

In 2022, following years of successful collaboration, PLC Architects became part of the Cordage Group. This integration has strengthened our ability to deliver across residential, commercial and mixed-use developments, while maintaining the flexible, responsive service that defines our approach. Our projects are grounded in creativity, technical expertise and a clear understanding of client needs and development potential.

Our flexible working model allows clients to choose the level of involvement they require from us, tailoring our service to suit individual project needs and goals.

Planning & Design

Our practice is known for delivering professional service through creative, cost-effective design solutions. We respond quickly to evolving client needs while maintaining high architectural standards. Our team brings a versatile approach backed by technical expertise, broad experience, and valuable industry insight. We take a proactive stance on planning, supported by strong ties with local authorities.

Construction

We produce comprehensive detailed drawings and schedules that support efficient construction on-site. Our work ensures all specifications, plans, and schedules are fully coordinated with the wider design and consultant team. This integrated approach consistently delivers the best results for our clients. We are also available to attend site inspections, providing an added layer of assurance throughout the build phase.

Conditions Discharge

PLC Architects works closely with other consultants and project teams to assist with the discharge of pre-commencement conditions, enabling construction to begin smoothly, efficiently, and without unnecessary delays on-site. We are also well equipped to support clients in meeting pre-occupation conditions, helping to ensure timely project completion, full regulatory compliance, and a seamless, well-managed handover.

Building Regulations

We have strong expertise in building regulations and work closely with local authorities and approved inspectors. Our team delivers detailed drawings and technical designs that meet all relevant regulatory standards. We collaborate with consultants and can recommend trusted, experienced professionals. Where needed, PLC Architects may act as principal designer to support safety and ensure full compliance.
