There are several steps of the process that is needed prior to the commencement of the work.
Complete a set of plans you are happy with ready for submission for Planning Permission.
What is the process and what is involved?
'Planning Permission is usually required if you want to alter your home in any way. Such as extensions, loft conversion, changing the use of a building (from a house to a shop for example) or dividing part of your house for use as a separate dwelling (two storey dwelling into separate flats.)' I will of gone through what could be needed at the early consultation stage.
Your plans are submitted to the relevant local Planning Department of the local Council. These are sent electronically on a standard Planning Application form. Different areas require different specific information detailed on the forms.
The Application is then looked at by the Local Planning Department and then Registered. It is then available online to look at.Then comments on the Application can be lodged online or in person to the relevant Local Council Planning Department, where the public can raise comments to the proposals. Comments are normally welcomed for a four week period.
There are often questions and queries raised about the plans by the relevant Council and that is my job to assist them and answer them for you and make changes. Consulting you every step of the way.
The plans then go before a Final Planning Committee and if they agree they will then give approval.
I will draw up detailed plans and supporting information for the proposed works and will send them to the relevant Council together with an application form and the necessary fee. They will then check the details and following any necessary consultations and liaisons with me a Building Regulations Approval will be issued.
In most cases the building work will not commence till Building Regulation Approval has been granted.
This is an extra service I can offer you and you can have peace of mind that your new building project is in experienced hands.
As a Building Project Manager I will supervise and organise the construction project from start to finish. I will be responsible for the safety, progress, and management of all aspects related to the construction job at hand.
I will write a specification sheet for the builder to work from I will liaise with the builder and inspect the work in progress on site in accordance with the inspection policy.
When the project is satisfactorily completed a Building Regulations Completion Certificate will be issued showing that the project has been independently inspected and that it complied with the Building Regulations.
