The most commonly requested service from building-plans.co.uk is for our extension plan drawings.
Because the housing market is stagnant at the moment, many people are choosing to extend their properties rather than moving house.
Most house extensions will need planning permission and getting the plans drawn for your extension is often the first part of the planning process.
This is the stage where your ideas for your property can start to materialise.
One of our experienced building surveyors will visit your property and discuss your ideas with you, pointing out any obvious difficulties with your choice of alterations. It’s better to know or anticipate these before you start spending money!
He will then measure each room in your house using a laser measure for accuracy and will sketch out the existing floor plan of each floor of the property.
He will then talk about the kind of extension you require, whether it’s a single storey, two-storey, position of windows, type of roof etc.
At this stage, he will probably make a sketch of your planned extension and agree certain design elements that need to be incorporated.
Don’t worry if you haven’t done this kind of thing before, as our surveyors will help you make decisions regarding layout, positioning of windows, stairs, doors, etc.
Here is an example of a proposed floor plan layout for a client requiring an extension to their home:
