Do I need planning permission for my project?
It depends on the scope of your project. Smaller extensions may fall under permitted development, while larger renovations or conversions typically require planning approval. We handle the entire planning process for you.
How long does the design and approval process take?
The timeline varies based on the project’s complexity and local council processing times. On average, planning approval can take 8-12 weeks, followed by detailed design and building control submissions.
Can you help with both design and construction?
Yes! We provide end-to-end services, from initial concepts and planning applications to construction drawings and contractor coordination.
