House Extension Glasgow

/in /by

a extensionsA house extension is an effective way of adding space and versatility to any property, however, the process of getting your house extended can be daunting.

Before you are able to have your house extension built at your home in Glasgow you will need a building warrant. We have a team of skilled designers who are able to help you with the building warrant application process.

When you get in touch with us you can expect our designers to meet with you at your home in Glasgow to discuss your ideas. At this point we will suggest design ideas and alternative ways of fulfilling your requirements, relying on our expert knowledge and experience to find the best way of matching your brief to your budget.

Once you have agreed we will carry out the design which will involve our designers converting the outline sketches into a full set of construction drawings that are within the guidelines of your local council.

It normally takes around 4-6 weeks for your building warrant to be issued, however, we are able to track your applications process so that you know what stage it’s currently at.

Your application is governed by the latest construction legislation, health and safety regulations and the current issue of the building standard. So once you have the building warrant you will be able to begin building your house extension.

We charge decent prices for designing plans for building warrants and the only costs over and above our fixed fee will be the fee that you need to pay the council – this is known as the application fee.

For additional information on the fees that we charge just contact our team by giving us a call on 0800 520 0347.

  • Build something new
  • Make a major change to your building
  • Change the use of your building

If the project your planning needs planning permission and you carry out the work without getting planning permission then you will be served an enforcement notice which orders you to undo all of the changes that you have made.

Now we are at the start of a new decade you might want to change things up and move with the times. Whether this is expanding your office or your house. In order to do the expansion work, you need what is called a building warrant. This sounds like a long drawn out process when in fact it is relatively straightforward and here at Archiplan we can assist the people in the Renfrewshire area throughout the process of obtaining a building warrant.

First of all, you would need to get in contact with your local council which for people living in Renfrewshire would be the Renfrewshire Council. Here you would be given application forms to fill out as well as having to submit initial drawings of your building plans. This is where Archiplan would come in as well as filling out your application forms we would also give you full-scale drawings of your proposed building work as well as full-scale drawings of your existing building.

Once your drawings and application forms have been submitted your building warrant should take around 4-6 weeks to be approved and throughout this process, we will liaise with the council and get back to you as regularly as possible with updates. All going well your building warrant should be granted and once it is your council will provide you with The Construction Compliance and Notification Plan. This is simply just informing you to contact Building Standards as throughout your building work they will need to inspect the work done to make sure it meets the safety standards.

Letter Of Comfort Strathaven

/in , /by

a archiplan 3A letter of comfort is required when work has been carried out without the required consent. It’s more than likely that you will need a letter of comfort if you are intending on selling your home as your lawyer will need it to complete the sale of your property.

It is becoming more and more common for clients to have building work carried out on their property without even knowing that they have to obtain a building warrant before any work is started. We can help with this.

We have been helping people in Strathaven with their letter of comfort applications for many years now and have gained an incredible reputation for doing so.

Our process starts off with us coming out to your property in Strathaven. At this point we will carry out a full measurement survey of your property and will produce a set of existing scale drawings and a full set of proposed scale drawings and accompany them with an ordnance survey map that highlights your property. We will also complete the council’s application form and submit all of the information for review.

Typically it takes around 4 weeks for the council to review the plans and arrange to carry out a site inspection. This is then followed by the release of the completion certificate.

Once we’ve carried out the full survey of your property we will highlight any areas of concern that may be needing attended to before the council carries out the final inspection of your property. The benefit of us doing this is that it will prevent any un-due delays with the release of the completion certificate.

At Archi Plan Glasgow, we will always keep you up to date with all developments whilst your application goes through the process, acting as your appointed agent from the outset.

To arrange for us to come out to your property in Strathaven to carry out a full building measurement survey, simply give us a call on 0800 520 0347.
