Working in Cambuslang
Our survey diary covers Cambuslang, including G72, G73. The same team covers Rutherglen (2 miles), Blantyre (3 miles), East Kilbride (3 miles), Bellshill (6 miles), all within easy reach.
Bishopbriggs, in Dunbartonshire, is roughly 7 miles from Cambuslang and also on our list. Across Scotland, extensions follow Scottish planning and building standards, including the building warrant process, which we build into the programme from the start.
Will the council need to approve it?
In Scotland a building warrant from the council is needed before work starts on almost any extension, and a completion certificate is issued when the work is accepted. Building standards are set in the Scottish technical handbooks.
Homes in conservation areas, national scenic areas and listed buildings have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
Scotland has no Party Wall Act. Where work affects a shared wall or a neighbour's land, we agree access, protection and making good with your neighbour in writing before work starts.
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.
What is included
- Structural calculations for beams, lintels and foundations
- Energy and glazing checks, including whole-house calculations if needed
- Completion certificate on sign-off
- Inspection bookings throughout the build
- Building regulations drawings and written specification
Building regulations approval and planning permission are separate. A design can have planning consent and still need changes to meet the regulations, which is why we draw for both together.
How the project works
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
It starts with a visit to your house to measure, check access and talk through ideas and budget.
Design and approvals
We draw the design, agree it with you and handle planning or permitted development checks and building regulations.
Fixed written price
With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.

Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
