How long will my extension take?
The duration of the extension will depend on the size and complexity of the project. Typically, a small extension can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months to complete, while larger extensions may take several months to a year. Complications that delay extensions can arise from various factors such as unforeseen site conditions, changes in project scope, permit delays, and supply chain disruptions. These complications can impact the timeline and budget of a project, requiring careful planning and coordination to overcome. This is why it is important to us to work closely with you, in order to establish a trusting communication and ensure that the project is completed as efficiently as possible.
Do I need planning permission for my extension?
Depending on your circumstances, not always.
Certain property extensions may be classified as "permitted development rights," subject to factors such as size, location, and design. It is advisable to consult your local planning authority for clarification.
How long does a planning application take to be approved?
It typically takes 6 to 8 weeks to receive a decision on a planning application. For updates on the progress of your application, it is recommended to contact your local planning authority.
What is building control?
Building control is an important aspect of construction services that ensures buildings are constructed in compliance with building regulations and standards. This process involves inspecting and approving plans, materials, and construction methods to ensure the safety and quality of the building. Building control also helps to protect the health and welfare of occupants and the public, as well as safeguarding the environment. It plays a vital role in ensuring that buildings are safe, sustainable, and fit for purpose.
Will I have to move when when works are being carried out?
No. However, the upside to moving out is avoiding disruption, dust and noise. Living in a dusty building site is not easy and, depending on what extension you go for, you could be without a kitchen or bathroom for a while. Your property could even be missing a rear wall or roof, heating and running water, which is particularly miserable in the winter.
