Planning
Shields Longden and Co
routinely submits planning applications for alterations and extension to
homes, including for Grade 2 listed buildings.
Building Regulations
We routinely submit for Building Regulation consent, typically after Planning
has been received, to confirm compliance with the Building Regulations.
Extensions
Many residential properties are altered and extended during their life, and it
is often more economical to extend or alter an existing property than to build
another one.
Typical alterations include loft conversions, one or two storey side additions,
rear additions, basement extensions and adaptations for the disabled/infirm.
All of these are possiblities, subject to the usual constraints of
planning
, building regulations and
party walls legistlation
, as well as availability of sufficient funds and time of the client.
Project Management / Contract Administration
In most instances we are retained by clients requiring Planning and Building
Regulations, to assist the overseeing of the build process.
This involves writing the Specification of Works. I.e. obtaining estimates from
contractors and identifying the most appropriate contractor, and monitoring
their work on site; agreeing interim valuations, settling the final account and
finally ensuring the statutory paperwork is obtained on completion of the
building works.
The personnel carrying out this task on your behalf at ShieldsLongden will be
Chartered Project Management Surveyors, used to overseeing major projects and
experienced in the balancing of the various demands of a project.
