Commercial Change-Of-Use
We aim to provide our clients with the best possible building design and construction advice for all aspects of property change-of-use projects.<br />
<br />
Depending upon which of our service levels you require (see <a href="/page/buildingdesignservices"><em>Building Design Services</em></a>), our main service is the preparation and submission of architectural plans and construction details required by your local authority for both planning permission and building regulations approval. We offer a fast-track, one-stop-shop, service for obtaining all necessary approvals prior to commencement of building work. We deal with all of the paperwork and liaise with all statutory authorities on your behalf - easing the stress that this may cause.<br />
<br />
Upon instruction, a member of our design team will visit you at your property to discuss your requirements and expectations of your proposed change-of-use project. Our designer will discuss all matters of the design, including limitations of build-ability and any restrictions likely to be imposed by your local authority, ensuring that the potential of your property is maximized within your budget, without creating unnecessary delay in obtaining the required approvals.<br />
