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.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.
Local to Inverurie
We cover Inverurie and the postcode districts AB51. Nearby, we also take on projects in Westhill (10 miles), Ellon (13 miles), Aberdeen (15 miles), Stonehaven (23 miles).
Across Scotland, extensions follow Scottish planning and building standards, including the building warrant process, which we build into the programme from the start.
Included in a typical project
- Building regulations drawings and written specification
- Energy and glazing checks, including whole-house calculations if needed
- Inspection bookings throughout the build
- Completion certificate on sign-off
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.
