A Local Design Service, Built on Real Relationships

A Local Design Service, Built on Real Relationships

DWG Plans Sussex is a local architectural design and technical drawing service based in Brighton & Hove, providing affordable, clear and reliable planning drawings across East and West Sussex.

We combine technical expertise with real-world spatial design experience to deliver practical, build-ready solutions for homes, businesses and event environments.

Evolving from DWG Plans Hampshire, the practice was built on a simple idea to make the design and planning process more accessible, transparent and stress-free for homeowners and small businesses.

We specialise in house extensions, loft conversions, garden rooms and venues, producing clear 2D plans, planning submissions and building control documents that help clients move confidently from concept to approval.

Serving Brighton, Hove, Horsham, Worthing, Eastbourne and the South Downs, we’ve helped hundreds of clients bring their renovation and development ideas to life, clearly, simply and affordably.

With over 20 years of experience designing event environments for clients, organisers and global brands for festivals, brand experiences and outdoor events. Projects often revolved around temporary structures, bespoke hospitality pods and immersive environments created to deliver high-impact customer experiences.

Through this work, I developed a passion for 3D design, CAD and spatial planning, which led to a deeper interest in Architectural Technology. I became particularly drawn to the emerging shift within both industries towards semi-permanent, reusable and demountable construction systems; a movement driven by the same core goals: sustainability, smarter use of materials and less waste.

It became clear that the boundary between temporary event structures, semi-permanent installations and permanent buildings was rapidly narrowing, and that both industries had significant opportunities to learn from one another.

I bring that combined experience into every design project with a focus on:

Architectural Drawings for Residential Extensions, Conversions & Renovations

Architectural Drawings for Small Businesses and Hospitality Premises Layouts

Architectural Design & Project Management of Event Overlay for Temporary Event Infrastructure

Loft Conversion & Side Extension

We converted our 2 bedroom bugalow into a 4 bedroom house with help from DWG Plans who provided drawings to demonstrate what we could do if we extended to the side of the bungalow and converted the loft. The results saw our small bungalow transformed with 2 ensuite bedrooms in the loft with an a new open plan kitchen/diner downstairs with a small office and utility room.

New Build - Plot of Land

"We' always dreamed of building a house but didn’t know where to start. After finding a piece of land, we wanted to assess what could be built within the plot. DWG Plans turned our vision into a workable design that exceeded our expectations. We didn't purchase the plot as the location was not right for us, but now we know what we can build in this footprint when we find the right plot".

Two Storey Extension - Additional Bedroom

"As our family grew, we needed another bedroom and a larger kitchen/diner. DWG Plans delivered drawings for a two-storey extension that blends perfectly with our existing home. The flow of the house is fantastic, and we didn’t have to move to get the space we needed. It feels like a brand new house in an area we didn't want to move from and we know that we've added value to our property!"

Granny Annexe For Independent Living

"My mother needed to move in with us, and we wanted her to have her own comfortable space. DWG Plans designed a self-contained granny annexe that feels like a real home, not just an add-on. It has given my mum her independence and kept our family close. We’re incredibly grateful for the thoughtful design."

Loft Conversion - Home Office & Guest Room

"Working from home became permanent for my wife, and we also frequently hosted family. DWG Plans turned our unused loft into a bright office with a beautiful guest bedroom and en-suite. The space feels like a boutique hotel with the perfect work-from-home setup. We’re over the moon!"

Detached Garage - Hobby Space & Storage

"I needed a dedicated space for my classic car and tools, separate from the house. DWG Plans designed a detached garage that not only fits everything perfectly but also adds value to our property. Their attention to detail was second to none, and the process was straightforward from start to finish."

New Porch

"Our hallway was cramped and shoes were always cluttering the entrance. We asked DWG Plans to design a porch that would provide more storage and improve the look of our home when friends and family entered. They created a beautiful and practical entrance that adds both character and functionality. It’s amazing how such a small addition has made such a big difference!"

Rear Extension

"We needed an extension for extra space for our boys. DWG Plans designed a stunning rear extension that provided a spacious family room and open-plan kitchen. The whole experience was stress free as constrcution drawings were also drawn for our builder. The new space has completely changed how we live and transformed our home!"
