Do I need planning permission?<\/summary>\n

It depends on the size of the work, where the house is and the local rules. Many small extensions do not need a full application; new houses and larger changes usually do. We check this for your address at the start, before you spend money on drawings.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n

How long does a project take?<\/summary>\n

Every project is different. As a rough guide, the design stages take a few weeks to a few months, and the planning office then takes its own time to decide. We give you a timeline for your project after the first consultation.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n

How much will the build itself cost?<\/summary>\n

We cannot price building work, but we help you set a realistic budget early and design within it. The technical drawings let builders give you comparable quotes.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n

Do you take on small projects?<\/summary>\n

Yes. A loft, a porch or a new layout downstairs gets the same care as a new house. For small jobs a fixed fee per stage is usually simplest.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n

Can you find a builder and visit the site?<\/summary>\n

We can send the drawings to builders you choose or suggest local builders to ask for quotes, and visit the site while the work goes on. The building contract is between you and your builder.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n

What happens at the first consultation?<\/summary>\n

We meet at your home or in the studio for about an hour, talk about what you want to change and what you can spend, and tell you honestly what is possible and what the next steps would cost.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n
