Mga Architects And Planning Consultants

What Mga Architects And Planning Consultants does

MGA Architects + Planning Consultants is a privately held, RIBA Chartered architectural practice based in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, UK, operating since the late 1990s with a small team of 1–10 employees. The firm delivers full-lifecycle architectural design services spanning feasibility study, planning strategy and submission, detailed design, construction administration, and optional project management, primarily for high-net-worth private residential clients undertaking new builds, conversions, extensions, and heritage restorations. Its core technical differentiator is a sustainable and zero-carbon design approach combining ground-coupled thermal mass, green roofs, photovoltaic solar, heat pumps, rainwater harvesting, and use of recycled or natural materials.

The practice holds specialist expertise in navigating UK planning constraints in conservation areas, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), Green Belt, and Grade II listed buildings, coordinating with ecologists, arboriculturists, archaeologists, and conservation officers to secure permissions in sensitive locations. Revenue is generated on a professional services, project-fee basis with bespoke quotes; no pricing or financial metrics are publicly disclosed. The firm has selectively extended into Spain (Costa Blanca, Ibiza) through a core partnership with Vives Pons and Asociados, who handle local legal and construction work under joint supervision. The business relies on direct client engagement, professional referrals, website portfolio, and LinkedIn for lead generation, with no disclosed funding, M&A activity, or institutional ownership.
