We listen to your requirements to ensure your design is relative to your specific needs. Our understanding and interpretation of effective planning & design will set you on the right path to a successful build project.

You may have to get more than one kind of permission or approval before you go ahead with work on your home. Always check if you need:

Building regulations approval – you may need this even for small improvements, eg replacing windows or doors

Planning permission – you usually need this to build something new or make a major change, eg an extension

FAQs

DO WE NEED TO EMPLOY AN ARCHITECT?

No, our highly experienced team can work with you on design ideas or modify our existing designs to help produce your ideal home or building project. However if you have already commissioned an architect to produce your design, we are happy to work with them to bring your dream to reality.

HOW LONG DOES THE PLANNING PROCESS TAKE & HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

The statutory period for consideration is normally 2 months, but it can extend beyond this if, for example if further information is required. The cost of an outline planning application is currently around £400. However further fees are payable at different stages of the process and these would be included and detailed within our fees.

IS IT NECESSARY FOR US TO EMPLOY AN ENGINEER OR A LAND SURVEYOR?

No, we have all the necessary in house expertise, so you don’t have to go to the additional expense of hiring an Engineer or a Land Surveyor.

WHAT ARE THE FIRST STEPS WE SHOULD TAKE?

Plan ahead and work out what your budget is. There may be costs involved that you have not considered. Spending time reseaching and refining your budget at the outset will avoid disappointment at the later stages. When you have setttled on a figure we can sit down together and work towards a design to suit your brief and your budget.

CAN YOU HANDLE THE PLANNING APPLICATION FOR US?

Yes, we have a wealth of experience with the Planning Department and we can help you through each stage of the proceedure, from the initial outline planning submission to the building warrant and completion certificate. We can never guarantee that permission will be granted, but if we think there is a reasonable chance of success, we will apply as your agent.

DO WE NEED TO EMPLOY A SOLICITOR?

Yes, this would be essential at contract stage or for the purchase of a plot if you are going to new build.
