Extensions in and around Inverurie
Our survey diary covers Inverurie, including AB51. Nearby, we also take on projects in Westhill (10 miles), Ellon (13 miles), Aberdeen (15 miles), Stonehaven (23 miles).
Scotland's housing includes sandstone villas, terraces and tenements in the cities and plenty of post-war and modern houses and bungalows elsewhere. A building warrant is needed before work starts.

- Building regulations drawings and structural design
- Breaking through at both levels, stairs and landing changes where needed
Planning and approvals in Inverurie
In Scotland, householder permitted development rules (Class 1A for single-storey ground-floor extensions and Class 1B for extensions of more than one storey) allow some smaller extensions without a planning application, within limits on depth, height and distance from the boundary. Conservation areas and listed buildings are more restricted. Separately, almost every extension needs a building warrant from the council before work starts.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
Building close to a public sewer needs the agreement of Scottish Water, which we check during design.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.

Double-storey extension questions answered
Do I need building regulations approval in Inverurie?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
How long does a double-storey extension take to build in Inverurie?
On site, typically 16 to 24 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–16 weeks design and approvals.
Do you cover all of Inverurie?
Yes. We cover Inverurie and the surrounding parts of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Is a two-storey extension cheaper per square metre?
Usually. Our guide range is about £1,520 to £2,940 per m² of new floor area including VAT, compared with £1,720 to £3,330 per m² for single-storey work, because the foundations and roof are shared across two floors.
