Following your initial contact, we visit your site to discuss the viability of your project idea. We explain the general procedure and timeframe. We give you a competitive fixed price.
There are usually two stages, priced separately. The first stage is to obtain Planning Permission and the second is to obtain Building Regulations approval.
We take measurements and levels of your existing structure before producing accurate scale drawings.
We show you these drawings to confirm your satisfaction with the design.
We complete the forms and submit the drawings, access statement and planning application on your behalf to the planning authority. We then liaise with the authority as necessary on your behalf as your agent.
Some householders simply wish to gain planning permission for a loft conversion or an extension to their property to increase the sale value when selling their homes.
But the majority of applicants who receive planning permission will then proceed to the building regulations phase.
In this case we will generally visit to take suplementary information. We have the benefit that most of the survey data is already in our systems. Plans are then drawn to meet current building control standards. The DCF Drawing Service has partnership status with the local authority building control department, in order to help expedite our applications.
As with the planning phase, we submit the plans and application, including all thermal and structural calculations and liaise with the authority as necessary on your behalf.
Once we have obtained building control approval we send you paper copies of your approved drawings.
