We’ll then create concepts for you to approve, factoring in our decades of experience and all of the essentials required and ideas required, as well as your personal opinions to create the perfect design for your project that is ready to move forward through the process and gain relevant permissions.

Your designer will discuss the designs with you before moving forward to ensure you’re happy with the work that has been done and give you the opportunity to discuss anything at all.

The majority of single storey house extensions in Solihull or the West Midlands, in general, will fall under permitted development, meaning planning permission is not required. This is of course not always the case, however, as many situations will still require planning for reasons like privacy, boundaries, size or even aesthetics.

Whether this is or is not the case however we will make all of the relevant inquiries and checks for you, liaising with the local planning authority to ensure you are doing everything correctly, and gathering the permissions and paperwork to provide this too.

Once planning permission is granted or permitted development has been proven and all relevant planning processes come to an end, the next step is to create building regulations drawings. Building regulations approval for house extensions in Solihull can be done through the Solihull Building Control authority, or through a private building inspector, depending on your preference. We will of course advise you on this too.

Building regulations drawings highlight the specific details and regulations for your extension to be considered legal to build. It also gives the builders a clear and detailed plan for them to work from once they ensure its practical application. This is a massive asset for the build, removing a lot of room for error and ensuring there will be no issues with building control during the build.

Finally, once building control approval is granted, all that is left is the building process itself. We have a number of experienced builders that we would be happy to recommend to our clients, as well as offering a comprehensive project management service as well.

This is where we manage the entire build on your behalf, managing the communication, payment releases, contracts, and keeping the builders on schedule, and checking their work regularly to prevent any problems.
