Building Regulations Once Planning Permission is in place, we submit
the Building Regulations documents for Approval. These specify the
nuts and bolts of the scheme and will involve the structural
engineer, heat loss consultant, possibly a heating engineer, etc.
Tender and Construction We then prepare comprehensive documents for the
Tender process which set out all the items you wish included in the
builder’s price, e.g. bathroom and kitchen fittings, landscaping,
flooring and doors. We assist you with your chosen route for obtaining
prices from builders and advise on setting up a Form of Contract
suited to your project. The Contract should include the overall
timing, price, and a payment schedule for the works.
During construction we are available to support
your contract with the builder, usually on an ‘as needed’ basis.
However, this stage may be more formal, depending upon our
Agreement.
