How Design and Build Works
First step: Initial visit
The first thing we have to do before we can give you a quote for renovation, house extension or a loft conversion is to visit your property. We can tell you whether or not your property is suitable for the work you want to have done. And Identifying the potentials that you may not be aware of.
For example, is your loft suitable for conversion, and is the wall you want to remove a loading-bearing wall? Or Maybe you have a party wall, and you need help and advice about notifications and permissions.
We’ll answer all your questions and go through your ideas. Then we’ll draw up Road map and rough quote.
Second step: Architectural Plans Drawing Stage
If you’re having a house extension built or a loft conversion, you’ll need an architect to draw up your plans. As we are construction Company leading by architects We do this in-house to save you the worry of having to find an architect yourself.
An architect helps you with the design, planning and overseeing of your project.
Our architect knows how to make the most of the light and space in your home and can guide you through the drawing stage and seamlessly into the design and build.
You can use your architect to get ideas that reflect what you want out of your design and build project. They will also help you to avoid any costly mistakes during the design phase.
Third step: second visit, Drawing Explanation and Time to think
Design and Build London
Once the drawings are in place you have a chance to look at everything again and make any changes if you want to. The best time to make changes is now because once the building work starts modifications can become expensive.
Your architect will ask you about the way you want to use your space and the way you use your home. The more you can go into detail about what you want the better, because the architect will need to transfer the vision you have in your head down onto paper.
Fourth Step: Applying for Planning Permission
Design and Build London
If your project requires planning permission this is the time, we apply for it on your behalf. This involves:
- Filling in the appropriate application forms
- Attaching additional information such as drawings and plans
- Outlining what’s involved so that planning officers have a clear idea about the project
The planning department will then assess your application and make their decision. The process takes around 8 weeks from start to finish.
Fifth step: Structural Calculation
Design and Build London
Now it is time to carry out the structural calculations and again we provide you with our in-house dedicated structural surveyor.
A structural engineer carries out structural calculations. They are specialist in building structures, and they work alongside architects.
Their job is to make sure any building work adheres to a certain set of regulations and standards to ensure the structure is safe. All buildings need to be able to withstand certain changes and to conform that changes to be made is accommodated in the structure.
The structural engineer will go through the plans. They will make for example that after the removal of a load-bearing wall that the correct support is in place. They might also suggest materials for the build.
