Our experience spans everything from single dwelling refurbishments to multi-unit new build developments.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions about our Refurbishment & New Build service.
Does a full house refurbishment need planning permission?
Internal works do not normally require planning permission. However, external alterations, extensions, roof changes and alterations to listed buildings usually do.
Do I need an architect for a new build?
You are not legally required to use an architect, but you will need professional architectural drawings for planning permission and Building Regulations approval.
