New Builds

The Procedure for a New Build Property

Initial Consultation

A free initial consultation for advice on whether your project is viable plus ideas you may not have considered.

Site Survey
Further discussion and measurements taken internally and externally.

First Stage

Design and Drawing Phase
The plans are drawn to scale and a new design prepared. The council may request environmental analysis and reports which we will deal with on your behalf. Once your feedback is received we will make any amendments you may require.

Council Submission
The plans and all the paperwork will be submitted to the local authority. Once validated the council will usually take 8 weeks to reach a decision. We will liaise with the planning officer during the planning procedure as required.

Second Stage

Building Regulation Approval
Once planning approval has been obtained, we will begin work on the Building Regulation plans. These will show all the technical information required for the building process and must meet current regulations. 

Council Submission
The application will be prepared and submitted to Building Control for approval. The council usually take around 4/5 weeks for this process. These plans can then be given to your builder to obtain an accurate quotation for the works.
