Extensions in and around Dingwall
Across IV15, we can visit, measure and advise. The same team covers Inverness (11 miles), Nairn (21 miles), Fort William (60 miles), Thurso (75 miles), all within easy reach.
For homes towards Moray, Forres is around 31 miles away. Across Scotland, extensions follow Scottish planning and building standards, including the building warrant process, which we build into the programme from the start.
Planning and approvals in Dingwall
In Scotland the questions are whether the extension falls within householder permitted development (Classes 1A to 1D) or needs planning permission from the council, and the building warrant, which is required before construction begins and is followed by a completion certificate.
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.
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.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.
Our process, step by step
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
A designer visits, takes measurements and photos, and discusses layouts, budget and timing with you.
Design and approvals
Drawings are prepared and agreed with you, then submitted for the right planning route and building regulations approval.
Fixed written price
We confirm the build price in writing, based on the approved drawings and the finishes you have chosen.
Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
Questions answered
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Dingwall, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How long does this take for a Dingwall home?
2–6 weeks for drawings, depending on the council and the complexity of the project.
Do I need building regulations approval in Dingwall?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
Do I need an architect?
Not necessarily. For most extensions an experienced designer or architectural technologist is enough. For listed buildings or complex sites an architect’s input can help.
Can I use your drawings with another builder?
Yes. Once paid for, the drawings are yours to use for your project.
