A Building Notice

This form notifies inspectors of your extension, helping them quote fees and plan site visits. No extension drawings are required. You or your builder can submit the Building Notice.

Full Plans Application

We recommend our Architectural Building Regulations Drawings, pre-checked by a Building Control Officer before construction. This ensures compliance and avoids costly corrections.

Permitted Development

Check the UK Government guide HERE to see if your extension requires Planning Permission. Even if it’s classified as Permitted Development, we recommend applying for a Lawful Development Certificate.
