Do I need planning permission in Erskine?
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.
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.
What we take care of
- Measured survey of the house and garden
- Planning drawings: existing and proposed plans and elevations, site and location plans
- Two or three layout options to compare
- 3D views to check the look and the light (full pack)
- Building regulations drawings and specification

Build and sign-off
The build is managed from start to finish, inspected at each stage and signed off on completion.
Common questions in Erskine
How long does this take for a Erskine home?
2–6 weeks for drawings, depending on the council and the complexity of the project.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Erskine, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do you cover all of Erskine?
Yes. We cover Erskine and the surrounding parts of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
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.
How much do extension plans cost?
Our design packs range from about £1,150 to £5,400 including VAT, from planning drawings only to a full pack with building regulations drawings, structural calculations and 3D views. Council fees are separate.
