How we work

From first visit to handover

  1. Site survey

    We visit, measure, photograph and talk through what you want and what it could cost.

  2. Design & approvals

    Drawings, planning or permitted-development checks, building control and party wall where needed.

  3. Fixed quote

    A line-by-line price and a programme, so you know what is included and when it happens.

  4. Build

    One site manager, daily progress photos and a weekly update in your client portal.

  5. Handover

    Snagging walk-round, certificates and warranties handed over in one pack.

Questions

Planning and regulations

Does a basement need planning permission?

Converting an existing cellar often does not, but digging a new basement or adding lightwells usually does. Some London boroughs have specific basement policies.

What about my neighbours?

Excavating near a neighbour's foundations normally triggers the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, so notices and sometimes a surveyor's award are needed before work starts.
