Getting started with your renovation or remodelling

Before we start looking at the changes, we first need to gather measurements of the existing property in the form of a measured building survey. A measured building survey usually takes a couple of hours and will involve taking measurements of the existing house to enable us to produce drawings. Once the drawings are produced, we are able to produce feasibility sketch illustrations of how the space could be worked best to fit your requirements.

Working with you producing feasible design options

We will prepare some indicative proposals to establish how the renovation and remodelling could be best developed, so you can review the drawings and pass comment. Our drawings will include floor plans, elevations and site plan, so you can clearly understand the design proposed from discussing your requirements. If any changes are required to the proposal, we would be happy to oblige until you are satisfied with the final design. Once the design of the renovation or remodelling is finalised, we can then look at the scheme in more detail to develop building regulation and construction drawings.

Do you need a planning application for renovation and remodelling?

If the works are internal then there is no need for a planning application to the council. If the works involve changes to the external face of the house, then there maybe a requirement to submit an application to the council depending on the type of work involved. If a planning application is require, then we will submit scaled drawings along with the correct paperwork and ordnance survey map so the planning application can be processed efficiently without delay. Once the planning application is paid for, it will be processed and the council will offer a date when a decision will likely be made. It is normal for the council to make a decision within eight weeks, so you can sit back and relax while we liaise with the council and update you of it's progress.
