We offer one free resubmission after you have had a chance to submit the documents to building control. They regularly come back with queries, which we may need to add to the drawings, so we recommend that you resubmit after you have had the queries from building control so there will be no addition fees from us.
We strongly advise that you contact a builder early in the process and get advice and guidance from their experience. We provide a comments section which you should use to give us information on any additional requirements or preference from the builder which we hope that we would be able to accommodate.
We have also provided a list of useful websites and recommendations so that you get as much assurance as possible before commencement of works. We also carry professional indemnity insurance for peace of mind. This can be provided on request.
