How Long Does A Loft Conversion Take?

What are the stages of building an extension?

An extension involves several stages of work, including planning permission. The house extension process involves creating drawings of the proposed plans for approval by local planners to ensure that they meet building regulations and are approved under normal circumstances.
As you can see from this list there is quite a lot involved in house extensions which means that not everyone should attempt them themselves if lack of knowledge or experience could lead to costly mistakes being made along the way.
A summary of the stages of house extension is as follows:

• Site investigation and preparation
• Planning permission for house extension or loft conversion
• Building Regulations approval - including fire safety measures if needed
• Drawing up plans, specifications and costings for house extensions or house renovations to obtain a building estimate from your builder before work starts. This will ensure that you are happy with the costs involved in the house extension process which should be taken into account when planning any budgeting.

While it is possible to have an architect draw up these plans this does increase both time and expense but may not always be necessary depending on the size of your house extension project. For smaller projects such as a single room addition then architects fees can often add very little extra over other design services so using them will  not always be necessary.
When house extensions are planned by professionals they can also help you to avoid any potential problems with the house extension process such as difficulties in obtaining planning permission or complying with building regulations which is important when house extensions are being considered. The information provided will ensure that your house extension project goes smoothly and efficiently from start to finish saving money on additional costs along the way.

How long does a loft conversion take?
There are building regulations that state house extensions must be completed within six months of work starting if they're built around the exterior of your house. Lofts however can actually be more problematic because there's no specific timeframe for this kind of project but it's best to aim for three months at most - something any self-respecting company should definitely be able to do! There are times when things might go wrong which could make time slip by even longer, especially if you have problems with structural engineers or access issues. If that doesn't end up being an issue then you'll get everything done within good time and won't need to worry about anything else at all either. When considering how much money is involved with house extensions, you do need to make sure that the company is completely transparent about what they're charging, and we truly are always transparent. The best way of doing this would be to talk over everything first and then making your enquiries afterwards before finally signing up for our services - it's always better to take a look at every aspect beforehand because once things have been agreed upon there will be no going back! It's also important not to say anything until you've actually checked our reviews as well because these can help you confirm we provide top-notch workmanship.
