FAQs

Alteration plans — common questions

Do all internal alterations need a building warrant? +

Not always. It depends on whether walls are structural and what the alteration involves. We'll confirm what applies once we understand your project.

How do I know if a wall is load-bearing? +

This is assessed as part of preparing your drawings. Where structural input is needed, we'll advise on this as part of your project.

Can you deal with the council on my behalf? +

Yes, we handle the preparation and submission of warrant documentation and liaise with building standards on technical queries.

What if my alteration is combined with an extension? +

Many projects combine both, and we can prepare a single set of plans covering the full scope of work.
