STEP 4: We give you a contact number of a previous client who was in the same situation as you.
STEP 5: After this consultation we will supply you with a no obligation quote and also give you time esimates for planning permisissons, commencement and completion of the various stages of build.
STEP 6: Should you choose to accept our quote and instruct us to proceed, we can have our architect produce detailed drawings based on precise structural calculations, drawn up by our engineers, should you require this service, upon payment of a deposit.
SETP 7: Upon your approval, where necessary, we submit the designs for local authority determination under the 1990 Town and Country Planning Act, section 63, which is normally processed within 3 months.

STEP 13: The average duration of a typical loft conversion from commencement of work is 8 to 12 weeks, but depending on what sort of loft conversion you're having it could well be done much more quickly. Our on site manager will visit the site on a weekly basis to check on the progress and to ensure everything is being completed to our normal level of high standard.
