Building Regulations
On receipt of your planning permission we prepare detailed drawings and submit an application for building regulations approval. As with your planning, we monitor your application closely to obtain approval in as short a period as possible

Engineers fees included: This work may involve us in dealing with other industry professionals on your behalf. If your design includes structural steelwork or a complex roof structure then structural engineers calculations will be required and the cost of this work will also be included in our price.

In certain circumstances an engineer may be required to provide a special foundation design. We can commission this work on behalf of clients although the fees are in addition to the Design & Materials fully integrated service.

Working drawings: When you are ready to make a start on site our Architectural Department will prepare working drawings and provide you with ten sets for the builders and trades people.

Specification
Our in-house Quantity Surveyor then prepares a detailed specification.

Recruiting Builders
Using the building regulation drawings and specification we prepare tender documents for builders on your behalf.
