Existing space.
A better use.
Planning and Building Regulations drawings for residential garage conversions across Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire and Bristol.
A clear route
through your project.
A garage conversion can create valuable living space without extending the footprint of your home. We establish the approvals required and prepare clear drawings for the proposed use.
Feasibility
We consider access, floor levels, openings, insulation, ventilation and the relationship with the existing home.
Planning or lawful development
We establish whether a planning application or formal lawful-development route is appropriate.
Technical drawings
Building Regulations information covers the relevant construction and performance requirements.
Start with the
right information.
Does a garage conversion always need planning permission?
Not always, although restrictions, previous planning conditions and changes to the exterior can affect the route.
Will it require Building Regulations approval?
A conversion to habitable use will normally require Building Regulations approval.
Can you survey and draw the existing house?
Yes. A measured survey can provide the accurate base information needed for design and technical drawings.
Regional knowledge.
One clear process.
Measured surveys and project support are available across the studio’s core South West service area.
