Trusted, Accurate, and Easy to Work With
At Rosenkelly Architectural Design, we’ve built a reputation not just with homeowners and developers but with the people who actually build our projects: the contractors. If you're a builder or contractor working in Dorset, you know the value of having clear, coordinated, and buildable drawings. That's exactly what we deliver. It’s why we’re the contractor’s first choice for architectural design across Weymouth, Portland, and the wider Dorset area.
1. We Design With the Build in Mind
Unlike some practices that overcomplicate things, we prioritise what matters on site:
Simple, accurate construction drawings
Logical sequencing that reflects how things are actually built
Realistic solutions based on standard detailing and material availability
Our designs aren’t just beautiful. They are buildable. And if you're pricing or planning work, you'll appreciate how much time that saves.
2. We Use Revit and BIM to Prevent Problems Before They Happen
We work exclusively in Revit, the industry-standard BIM software used by top-tier practices and contractors across the UK. That means:
Coordinated 3D models with no surprises on site
Sections, elevations, and construction details that align
The ability to flag issues early before they cost time or money
Builders regularly tell us: “We wish all architects worked like this.”
3. We’re Easy to Reach and Quick to Respond
When you're on site and need an answer fast, time is everything. That’s why contractors prefer working with us:
We respond quickly to queries
We're available by phone or email when it matters
We provide clear answers, not vague delays
We don’t disappear after planning approval. We're with you during technical design and beyond.
4. We Produce Scalable, Usable Drawings
Our building regulations packages are:
Delivered in PDF and printed format if needed
Marked up clearly with appropriate scales (1:50, 1:20, 1:10)
Labelled with all the critical details builders and BC need
From U-values to window schedules, our deliverables are straightforward to work from. We also coordinate directly with structural engineers, BC officers, and suppliers where required.
5. Builders Recommend Us Again and Again
We’re proud to say that many of our jobs come from contractor referrals. When builders like working with us, they tell others. That’s the highest praise we can receive.
Our working relationships with trades, suppliers, and contractors across Dorset mean:
Smooth site coordination
Fewer variations or misunderstandings
Happy clients and a better build experience for everyone
