I've got 2 forms to hand in 1- Application for Building Regulation Approval - with fee 2- Notice Of Commencement Of Building Work - with builders details & start date. I'm just planning on handing them both in together and hopefully thats it. Then I've a form to hand in on completion.

All the web site links I've gathered the last few weeks etc says 2 days, i've had 5 days in my head for some reason though - lol Thanks for that Masona :wink:

I'm about to have a Detached Garage built, I was under the impression that you have to give 5 days notice before starting work, I'm sure i read it somewhere :? But all I can find now is 2 clear days, ie put form in on Mon can start work on Thurs. I'm planning on handing my Application for...

My mate got a 12"x9" Edwardian Style Dwarf Wall type conservatory with 28mm sealed units for £2,700. He built his own base and dwarf wall and rendered it, as his house is rendered, Plaster board inside, electrics, tiled it etc. He reckons it cost a total of £3,300 with doing all the work...

Have a look in your local paper, normally a few adverts there or ask someone you know whos had building work done, Who drawn their plans ? Can't beat a good recomendation :!: Whoever draws your plans will be able to answer alot of questions you have too ! Get your plans drawn first and submit...

Have some plans drawn first. These will contain alot of detail, foundations, roof structure building materials etc and give you more idea.

I'm waiting for my plans to be passed on a detached garage, The guy thats drawn my plans has done the gutter drain water to a soak away. When I spoke to the builder he said he may prefer to take it to a drain. When i was enquiring about Building Regs I asked the Building Regs guy if it was OK to...

The builder built a side garden wall, quite big, across the road from my Mothers about 12 months back. Looks a good job, the guys whos house it is, is more than pleased with it and his work. Cleaned up each night etc too. As i say he lives local and he seems a decent fella to talk to etc

Thats Labour and Materials, The builder said that is the price I'll pay - He won't start asking for any more for this n that etc. He said £7650, I've decided to sort my own door out, so he said knock £350 of the price, so £7300 without the door. I've put my plans in, Just waiting for a...

I've been looking into having a Garage built. I first looked into a pre cast concrete sectional garage, 20" X 11" worked out at £2500 with a window and side door etc. Then you have to have your base which would be at least £500. I've decided to go for a proper brick built detached garage...

Thanks For That PS As I say I'm looking at about a 9"6 door, Wickes do 10ft for £600 + about £300 to make it Electric So I was looking at about £900 for a door, less than a £1000 anyway. With yours bein 5m for £1600, I'd only want 3m ish wide so that will be worth lookking into :wink:

I've had my plans drawn etc, I've decided to have my garage 150mm(6inch) from the border/garden fence. This allows 4 inch for the gutter overhang and 2inch surplus. The 150mm gap, I'm having a 150mm granular fill border,300mm deep. As for the garage door, i'm having the posts a brick and a...

Put my plans in today, I asked about the height - they said as long as its in scale and not over the 4m height limit. If its over 4m the dimensions would be required.

Good thinking :wink: The Architect did actually say he's drawn it bigger than i actually asked him, then if the builder needs to make it slightly bigger than i wanted, say for the post positioning etc he can. He said once these plans are passed its OK to make my Garage smaller than the plans...

I will check before handing them in :wink: Just puts my mind at rest abit thats all. I went down to the planning office with a rough sketch when I first thought about having a garage built, just enquiring about permission etc and the planning guy said, My rough sketch will probably do for...

I gather you are referring to this point All I wanted to know is, why would my Architect miss the Height Dimensions off my plans. Masona - Thanks for your reply, Do you think the council will understand/presume that my Garage is under 4 metres and thats why he hasn't put the height...

I've just had a set of plans drawn, ready for me to submit for approval. The plans are for a Detached Single Storey Garage to be located in my back garden. I've noticed though that the height has been missed of the drawings, Will the council require this or will just the length and width be OK...
