About Us - Vivid Consulting trading as Vivid Infrastructure UK Limited
Committed to Excellence in Planning and Architecture
At Vivid Consulting, we believe in turning your ideas into reality. Our experienced team specialises in planning applications, architectural services, and highway advice, helping you navigate the complexities of property development with ease.
With our considerable experience in property management and land development, our aim is to assist you in proceeding quickly and efficiently to reach your objectives.
With the increased popularity in self build homes, self building is now a government backed initiative. Government legalisation requires Local Planning Authorities to provide for those who wish to build their own home. Self Build Registers have now been set up by many councils to help inform them of the level of demand for custom and self build plots. We are pleased to work with land owners, self builders and self builder communities. If you are thinking about a self build project, please contact us for more information.
Based in Norwich, Norfolk, we are pleased to offer free initial no obligation advice to potential clients. We offer a range of in house services. Please continue to look through our website for more information on our company, or you are welcome to contact us to discuss your requirements.
