PLANNING & BUILDING
PLANNING APPROVED?
Greenway can guide you through the next steps to make your project go smoothly. Greenway has experienced skilled labour teams to ensure every aspect of your building plan goes according to your budget and time scale.
WORKING TOGETHER
We work with you to come up with the very best solutions for your challenges.
The building stage of your project is an important one and some of the stages in-between can sometimes be overlooked. Greenway knows from experience that many customers have suffered the negative effects of not ensuring every phase is executed properly.
Rest assured that once you book a site visit with Greenway, our experts will check to make sure you have crossed your 't's and dotted your 'i's in all the right places.
Going straight to the build phase without making sure the previous steps are taken care of can often have have a knock-on effect with the rest of the build which could potentially cost you many thousands of pounds.
After you receive the full design specification from your architect and get building regulation approval from your local council (and invoked the Party Wall Act if necessary), you should consult with an independent quantity surveyor, preferably one that is RICS registered.
Then follow these recommended steps:
01
Get Builders Quotes
A builder will only give you a quote based on the information that you’ve given them. So neglect to include something important and you’ll likely end up with an unexpected bill later down the path.
Be sure to get in contact with us at this stage — we’d love to give you a no-obligation costing for your build.
02
Check with Your Architect
Before any work commences on site you should check with your architect to find out if they’ve cleared and met all of the conditions in your planning permission.
You should have received confirmation in writing from your local planning authority and architect to confirm this.
03
Builder Site Visit
Once you’ve chosen your builder you should meet with them to discuss the finer details of your professional relationship. You should do your full due diligence, negotiate terms, and discuss contracts (get these checked by your solicitor).
04
Instruct Your Builder
That’s it.
Once you've signed the builders contract you are ready to get your project build underway, with confidence.
Good luck!
