F.A.Qs
Frequently asked questions
You will require detailed drawings and planning permission before you can start your build and this is where our Design Service comes in useful. Our Architectural Team will work with you to develop your design and then we will take you through planning via your local council. Our drawings include enough detail to satisfy Building Control, and if they have any questions throughout the build we will support you and answer any queries (even if you don’t choose to build with us).
You will be required to gain planning approval from your local council prior to building and this is all included within our Design Service. We will prepare your planning set for you which generally includes various drawings (existing plans, proposed plans, side and rear elevations etc.), as well as the application form and accompanying documentation. Sometimes we will submit heritage reports and design and access statements if we feel they are necessary to obtain a successful application.
As part of construction process, we are only able to build from our own drawings, specification and schedule. Clients do routinely come to us from other architects and design companies and use our Architectural Review service to fill in any gaps – for example, Building Regulation drawings, Schedule of Works and/or Structural Engineering. When this information is complete, we will then line-price the scheme and put forward a fixed contract sum for your acceptance.
The Party Wall Act is a piece of legislation that helps to ensure one person’s building works don’t adversely affect a neighbour’s property. If you are undertaking a home extension, you might be required to serve Notice to your neighbour(s) before you can carry out the Build.
We will always do our best to accommodate any changes onsite but it does depend on how much notice we are given. You will be in close communication with your Build Manager so they’ll be able to tell you when we need confirmed decisions.
We do offer our design clients unlimited design amendments so we recommend that you take advantage of this service and really experiment during the Design Phase. We would also recommend popping along to one of our House Tours so you can see how designs look in reality.
All our extensions come with a 12-month defects liability period.
Absolutely! We encourage all of our prospective clients, Design and Build, to see our completed projects up close. This a great way to see our fantastic quality of workmanship, and it will also give you tons of design inspiration and help you visualise layout options. Members from our Design and Build Teams will be on hand during the tour to answer any questions. We made this handy video which summarises what our house tours are all about. We are always booking in new dates so make sure to keep an eye on our Page.
