Hi Guys and girls! new to the forum!
I am planning a single storey rear extension to a 1930's semi detached house. it is replacing a conservatory and a little more. but I am struggling for anyone to give me a straight answer in what order to get things done in! can you help???
1. I have had plans drawn up and submitted them for a permitted development certificate.
2. send them off to get the calcs done on steels.
3. apply to building control for the relevant docs.
4. party wall notices to be issued.
5. start!
my problem is I had a builder round tonight who advised on what he thought needed doing with steels which I don't agree with subject to a friends extension and he says it needs doing to building controls standards. but how can building control dictate what steels need to go in if they have already been calculated - do I have to pay again???
can I issue party wall notices sooner so that I can commence work sooner as well??
any help is greatly appreciated!
thanks
dave
