Planning Services

We include a free initial consultation with clients to ascertain their requirements, when we listen to their proposals.

These are often for single or two storey extensions, new garages, garage conversions and loft conversions.

We also specialize in one off new house builds and more, as may required by speculators or developers.

On instruction, our scope of works extend to carrying out a full measurement survey taking levels as necessary, photographs and preparing CAD schemes for review.

We then prepare detailed planning drawings for submission to the relevant local authority. We recommend awaiting planning approval before applying for building control approval. Thereafter we can prepare the extra drawings necessary for full building regulation approval arranging any structural calculations that may be required.

We can arrange the preliminary contract supervisor and basic health and safety planning to be handed to prospective contractors along with the detailed drawings that can then be used for pricing – we can manage the tender procedure if required.

Once a contractor has been selected we can seamlessly hand over to them as principle contractors and if required can project manage the works through to completion.

What we do

Marchbanks can  build for you off plans you may have, they can produce plans as either a design and build or manage the tender procedure with outside contractors and project manage the works through to completion.

Whilst we serve a wide range of small private individual domestic clients, we also are able to serve property speculators for new houses and residential developments including Housing Associations.

We are happy to work with clients who for whatever reason wish to complete either 'self-build' projects from just producing designs and plans through to full a full build and/or Contract administration and project management.

Call or email us today, or fill in your details via the enquiry form for more information. We look forward to hearing from you.

Designs to meet your requirements - we can design your project with lots of Architectural features or as with no frills as a budget design or somewhere in between. We try to blend any extension to the existing and won't design something that will devalue your house (we have had customer suggestions in the past that would do just that!). We will advise against something that will devalue your property even if you suggest it.
