With a strong commitment to excellence and a wealth of experience in the industry, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional results for our clients. Based in Poole, we operate across the South West and beyond, providing services for residential, commercial, and public sector clients.

Architectural Services

At Ellis Belk, we offer a full range of architectural services, from initial design and planning through to project management and completion. Our team of experienced architectural designers and technicians can provide innovative and practical solutions for new builds, extensions, and refurbishments. We are experienced in working with listed buildings and can provide advice on building conservation and heritage issues.

Principal Designer (CDM) Services

As Principal Designers under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, we can help ensure that your project is compliant with health and safety legislation. Our extensive experience in this area allows us to provide expert advice on managing risks and ensuring that your project is delivered safely and efficiently.

3D Modelling

Using the latest technology, we can provide detailed 3D models of your project, allowing you to visualise the finished result before construction begins. This can help identify any potential issues early on, saving time and money further down the line.

Flood Resiliance Housing Projects

With climate change and rising sea levels posing an increasing threat to properties in vulnerable areas, we specialise in providing flood resilience solutions. Our team can provide advice on designing and constructing properties that are able to withstand the effects of flooding and can help minimise the damage caused by floodwater.

Surveying and Contract Administration

We offer a full range of surveying services, including quantity surveying, contract administration, and measured surveys. Our experienced surveyors can provide accurate and detailed surveys, enabling you to make informed decisions about your project. We can also provide contract administration services, ensuring that your project is delivered on time and within budget.

Employer's Agent

As Employer's Agent, we can act as your representative throughout the construction process, ensuring that your interests are protected at all times. We can provide advice on selecting and appointing contractors, managing the tender process, and administering the construction contract.

Building Pathology

Building pathology describes the inspection, investigation, diagnosis, and reporting of defects within buildings. As Chartered Building Surveyors, we are uniquely placed to undertake building pathology reports and to oversee the necessary remedial works. Our reports are written in plain English and we include annotated photographs to help identify any issues.

Expert Witness Reports

Unfortunately, sometimes things can go wrong with construction projects, leading to legal action against the builder or designer. Our experienced team can develop our Pathology reports into full Expert Witness Reports, providing expert evidence to support your case.

Party Wall and Building Conservation

We have extensive experience in dealing with party wall matters and can provide advice on the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. We can also provide advice on building conservation and heritage issues, working closely with local authorities and conservation groups to ensure that projects are sympathetic to the surrounding area.

Our clients value our professional and flexible approach, as well as our expertise and experience. We are proud of the testimonials we have received from our clients and are always delighted to receive feedback on our work.
