What we take care of

  • Energy and glazing checks, including whole-house calculations if needed
  • Completion certificate on sign-off
  • Structural calculations for beams, lintels and foundations
  • 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.

Will the council need to approve it?

In Northern Ireland building control is run by the councils under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland). We submit full plans or a building notice and book the inspections through to completion.

Homes in conservation areas, areas of townscape character and listed buildings have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.

Northern Ireland has no Party Wall Act. Where work is on or close to a shared boundary, we agree access and protection with your neighbour in writing before work starts.

Applications are decided by your council, which handles local planning in Northern Ireland.

Working in Enniskillen

Our survey diary covers Enniskillen, including BT74. The same team covers Lisnaskea (12 miles), all within easy reach.

Omagh, in County Tyrone, is roughly 23 miles from Enniskillen and also on our list. Northern Ireland's housing ranges from city terraces to large numbers of detached houses and bungalows on rural plots, many in render, where single-storey extensions fit easily.

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.

  1. Free site visit

    It starts with a visit to your house to measure, check access and talk through ideas and budget.

  2. Design and approvals

    We produce the drawings and structural design, and manage the approvals so they are in place before work starts.

  3. Fixed written price

    With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.

  4. Build and sign-off

    The build is managed from start to finish, inspected at each stage and signed off on completion.

Common questions in Enniskillen

How long does this take for a Enniskillen home?

2–5 weeks for drawings, depending on the council and the complexity of the project.

Do you cover all of Enniskillen?

Yes. We cover Enniskillen and the surrounding parts of County Fermanagh. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.

Can I see a price before committing to anything?

Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Enniskillen, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.

Full plans or building notice?

A full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, which we usually recommend for extensions. A building notice is quicker to submit but carries more risk if something needs changing on site.
