Thinking of extending your house

If you are considering extending your home, or converting your garage or loft space, you may not necessarily need planning permission but you will always need building regulation approval.

Building regulations are not the same as planning permission, they are the detailed technical standards that ensure your home is safe and energy efficient.

Free Advice

If your alterations are complex it may be worth discussing your project with us. We are happy to advise you during the early pre-planning stages of your project to address any issues before they become a problem. A guide to extending your home is available and is free of charge.

How we will help

Our team of qualified surveyors possess the experience and knowledge to help ensure your project will be completed to the required standards.

This will include a number of site visits at various stages of construction. We will check your plans for compliance with the building regulations, consult with statutory bodies where appropriate, provide site inspections of work under construction, and issue final certificates.

Our fee structure offers substantial savings to your building control costs and is among the cheapest in Nottinghamshire.
