Romsey Structural can help you gain approval Building Control approval from your local authority
By law, you must obtain Building Control Approval when making structural alterations and the work must be checked by a Building Inspector, who will issue a completion certificate when satisfied. This should be kept with the deeds of your home as it will be needed when sold.
The package supplied by Romsey Structural will help you gain approval for Part A of the Building Regulations (Structural Safety) and the routes to approval are: (a) Full Plans Approval, and (b) a Building Notice.
For Full Plans Approval, your Local Authority Building Control will check the architectural plans and structural design prior to construction. This takes approximately 6 weeks and it is recommended that approval is gained before commencing work, since they may stipulate changes. For small single storey side extensions under permitted development a Building Notice is normally sufficient; the design package supplied by Romsey Structural will be checked by your Building Inspector and only a few day's notice is normally required.
It is always wise for a loft conversion or a large extension to use Full Plans Approval, which gives you the benefit of having the design, materials and layout agreed up front. This should hopefully prevent nasty surprises and the builders will have proper plans that they can quote against providing certainty all round.
