ABOUT ME
Qualified as a Building Surveyor in 1992 and gained Chartered status with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in 2000. For over two decades, I worked to enhance the condition and usability of Buckinghamshire Council’s land and buildings, supporting better environments for their users.
​
In 2005, I began a small part-time practice to help homeowners improve their properties, whether through internal remodelling, extensions, or new builds. Today, Louise Dove Planning and Design is a full-time consultancy offering a wide range of planning and design services. My work extends beyond schools and houses, I support businesses in upgrading office spaces, assist sports clubs in enhancing their facilities, help landowners develop holiday homes, and advise farmers on barn conversions, among many other projects.
​
With over 30 years of experience in the construction industry, I can provide all the necessary advice and services to help you realise your project, from concept through to completion.
