YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
When your business requires purpose-built premises, strategic fit-outs, or property repurposing, John Allan Architectural Design in Edinburgh delivers professional commercial architecture solutions that balance functionality with regulatory compliance. Our commercial architectural design expertise spans offices, retail spaces, gyms, mezzanine installations, and change of use projects throughout Central Scotland. From initial concept through to completion certification, our commercial architecture service ensures your business premises support operational efficiency whilst meeting all planning and building warrant requirements. Whether you're expanding existing facilities or creating entirely new commercial spaces, our commercial architectural design approach prioritises practical layouts, cost-effectiveness, and seamless project delivery.
Strategic Space Planning
Successful commercial architecture begins with understanding how your business operates and what your premises must deliver. We develop commercial architectural design solutions that maximise usable space, support workflow efficiency, and accommodate your specific operational requirements. From office fit-outs that enhance productivity to retail layouts that optimise customer experience, our designs consider every functional aspect whilst ensuring compliance with building regulations and accessibility standards.
Comprehensive Regulatory Management
Commercial projects involve complex planning requirements, building warrants, and change of use considerations. We manage all local authority submissions professionally, ensuring applications are complete, accurate, and processed efficiently. Our commercial architecture experience means we anticipate regulatory requirements early, preventing delays and ensuring smooth approvals throughout your project.
Construction Support and Delivery
Throughout the build phase, we provide ongoing support including building warrant amendments for design adjustments and coordination with contractors and specialists. Optional 3D visualisations help you evaluate layouts and finishes before construction begins, whilst our assistance with contractor quotes ensures competitive pricing. Upon completion, we handle completion certificate applications, ensuring your commercial premises receive full regulatory approval for occupancy.

Precision Surveys And Practical Concept Development
Commercial projects rely on accuracy from the start. Our process begins with detailed measurement surveys that capture the exact dimensions and site conditions. We then prepare multiple outline concepts, refining them in collaboration with you to ensure they match both your operational needs and budget constraints. This early focus on practicality and affordability ensures your commercial project is built on realistic expectations and tailored plans.
Space Planning, Fit Outs, And Functional Design
Every business has unique requirements for how space is used. Whether you need offices, gyms, mezzanine levels, or building repurposing, our detailed design stage ensures layouts are efficient and compliant. We prepare construction drawings that cover all aspects of the build, supporting everything from office fit outs to change of use applications. This design approach ensures your new space supports productivity while making the most of every available area.
Managing Permissions, Warrants, And Compliance
Commercial builds often involve complex regulations, but we simplify the process by managing all planning submissions and local authority approvals on your behalf. From change of use requirements to building warrants, we ensure documentation is submitted correctly and efficiently. Where small design changes arise during construction, warrant amendments are prepared to keep your project fully compliant. Once complete, we also handle completion certificate applications, ensuring your building is signed off without complications.
Visualisation, Delivery, And Professional Support
To help you fully understand the outcome before construction begins, we provide 3D images and virtual tours of your proposed commercial space. These tools allow you to evaluate layouts, functionality, and design features in advance, giving clarity to your decisions. Alongside visualisation, we coordinate with structural specialists and assist in securing contractor quotes, streamlining the transition from design to delivery. This full-service approach helps ensure your commercial project stays efficient, compliant, and aligned with your business needs.
