Simplifying Your Construction Project: How We Manage the Planning and Building Process from Start to Finish
Planning a construction project can feel overwhelming, especially when navigating permissions, regulations, and building codes. For homeowners and businesses alike, the complexities can be daunting. That’s where we come in. As a local, small UK based construction business, we’re committed to managing each stage of the construction process, making sure you’re informed and supported every step of the way. Here’s a breakdown of how we handle everything from the initial consultation to project completion.
Initial Consultation and Site Visit
We start with an initial consultation, where we visit your property to discuss your ideas, aims, and requirements. Our team will assess the site, review any existing plans, and answer any questions you may have. During this stage, we gather all necessary information to ensure we fully understand your expectations and can provide a clear plan for your project.
What to Expect:
- A thorough site inspection
- Discussion of your ideas, timeline, and budget
- Overview of any potential planning permissions required
- Explanation of our process and next steps
Planning and Design
Once we understand your project, we move on to the design phase. At this stage, detailed plans and architectural drawings are created, tailored to your project and compliant with local planning and building regulations.
What to Expect:
- Creation of professional architectural designs and layouts
- Review and adjustments based on your feedback
- Preparation of documents needed for planning permission
Securing Planning Permission
Securing planning permission can be a complex process, especially for larger extensions or new builds that require approval from the local council. Our team can manage this on your behalf, handling all the necessary paperwork and liaising with the planning department so you can focus on other priorities.
What to Expect:
- Preparation of all required documents and submission of planning applications
- Regular updates on your application’s progress
- Guidance and support in addressing any council queries
Handling Building Control
After planning permission is granted, we move on to building control – a crucial step to ensure that your project meets all necessary safety and structural standards. We coordinate with building control officers to arrange inspections at various stages, from foundation work through to final completion, ensuring all work meets regulations and passes inspection.
What to Expect:
- Organisation of building control inspections
- On-site meetings with inspectors to ensure compliance
- Detailed updates at each stage of approval
Starting Construction
With planning permission and building control approval in place, we’re ready to begin construction. Our team of skilled builders, electricians, plumbers, and other tradespeople work efficiently to bring your project to life. We aim to complete each project on schedule and within budget, with minimal disruption to you.
What to Expect:
- Daily updates on progress and key milestones
- Regular checks to ensure quality and adherence to plans
- Open communication with our project manager to address any questions
Final Inspection and Completion
After construction is complete, we carry out a final inspection alongside building control officers to ensure everything meets the required standards. We then walk you through the finished project, addressing any last concerns and making sure you’re completely satisfied with the results.
What to Expect:
- Final building control inspection and sign-off
- Comprehensive handover with documentation and maintenance tips
- Open communication for any follow up questions or needs
