We were engaged to propose a scheme based upon the clients 'wish list' of rooms and budget. Adter several rounds of iteration with the client making tweaks to the flow and experience of the house, the client engaged the neighbours about the proposal to see if they ahd any concerns. This engagement saw the proposal was received positively by the neighbours and we were able to submit the application to the Local planning Authority. Throughout the course of the planning application we monitored its progress and liased with the officer to make sure any isues were overcome and the positive decison was recieved.
Post decision the detailed decisgn drawings weren produced for building control approval and to allow the client, who was planning to self build the majority of the project, to start costing the job. Through the construction phase we were retained to provide liason and support to the client as the project progressed.
