Surveys Once fees have been agreed, we will carry out a full measured survey of your property.  From this point, we will usually take a maximum of 2 weeks to prepare detailed plans of the existing and proposed.  These are then agreed with the client before any submissions are made. Submissions for required Approvals If submitted for Planning Permission, from the date of deposit, for domestic and small works, the Local Authority will take in the region of 8 weeks to make a decision, large projects over 1400 sq m, they have up to 14 weeks to decide.  Building Regulation submission is simpler, usually taking about 5 weeks with the Local Authority, however, you can now use Private inspectors to approve and inspect the works, this is often a quicker process than using Local Authorities, however, in most cases, additional Insurances are required using this route. Construction Details and Detailed Specifications  For more complex schemes, we can also provide construction details to assist the smooth workings of the site.  In some instances, and for large schemes, detailed specifications are required to enable contractors to price the work.  If this is required, we are happy to prepare these documents and obtain competitive tenders from a selection of local quality contractors that we have worked with in the past to ensure that you get the project you require at the most competitive price, (cheapest is not always the best). Service Site Operations If problems arise on site during the works, we are happy to visit and put forward solutions or provide details to ensure that the works are comleted successfully.  Click on a Thumbnail to enlarge.
