Design Costs
We appreciate that for most people extending their home is a large undertaking and that it may be the first time that they have been involved with the planning and construction process. For this reason at the start, and as the project develops, we are completely clear about what will be required and the cost. We aim to ensure that there are no surprises or ‘hidden’ extra costs.
Where there are elements that cannot be costed for example Structural Engineer costs which may depend on the final design we will give you an approximate cost following our first visit and a fixed cost as soon as the final design is agreed.
Beware of very low quotes - they may be just 'Sketch' views for planning purposes and not have the detail needed for construction and most construction companies will not be able to tender for the project.
The following list covers the items that should be budgeted for:
Planning Applications
Full drawings of existing & proposed floor plans, elevations and sections, submitting the application and any amendments called for by planners prices typically £400-500 for an extension. (50% payable on submission, 50% on receiving Permission).
Local Authority Planning Application Fees
Currently £160.
Building Regulations
Preparing and submitting a Full Plans Application based on the planning drawings and including changes called for by Building Control pricestypically £400-500 for an extension. (50% payable on submission, 50% on receiving Building Warrant).
Local Authority Building Warrant Application Fees
Dependant on cost of works; e.g £15,000 build costs would mean a fee of £325.
Structural Engineers Fees
Dependant on extent of Structural works, it is advisable to get a number of quotes which Clyde Planning can help with.
