Do you charge any differently for a single or double garage?

No. The amount of design work and council application work will be the same. We don't charge any differently if your garage is a single or double.

Can I start building my garage conversion before obtaining building regulations approval?

We recommend that you obtain a building regulations approval before your builder starts the works. This covers you and your builder, so they know the plans have been approved by the Local Authority and the works can then take place.

Do you have any general advice about a garage conversion?

We would recommend that you stay away from building notice applications, this is where a builder constructs your garage conversion without a set of approved building plans.

Builders sometimes tell homeowners that a set of plans is not required and this will only delay the construction process. 

A set of approved building plans will resolve any issues before a garage conversion is even started. It's nice for a homeowner to see what can be achieved with their garage conversion before it's even built.
