Our Process

Initial Meeting

We offer a free consultation at your home to discuss the different ideas and designs.  Planning permission is not always needed and many homes have permitted development rights, we can investigate and advise upon the permitted development rights of your home during our visit. We can also talk over the project timetable. Following this meeting, once all parties are satisfied with the task to be undertaken, we can provide a written quotation.

Survey

Following the approval of the quotation we will conduct a measured survey of the property. The survey itself will take approximately 1-2 hours.

Planning Drawings & Application

Once we have discussed the design, detailed plans are drawn up for you to approve. Turning ideas into working documents accurately and efficiently is the key to ensuring your project progresses quickly and cost-effectively. We’ll take into account all aspects of the project, from available budget, desired outcome, planning requirements and timescale for completion. Your plans are then submitted to the local planning department. Approval can take between 8-12 weeks.

Building Regulation Drawings & Submission

Once planning application has been granted the building regulations drawings and details can be produced for submission to your local Building Control department. This also includes any structural elements for which structural calculations may be required. We liaise directly with the Building Inspector in order to achieve an unconditional approval.
