Hatch Construction | From Planning to Completion - Hatch Construction

Contact an architect to get the design stage started, once a design has been agreed you can instruct them to complete planning level drawings.

Submit the drawings to your local authority planning department, this stage generally takes 8-10 weeks.

At this stage Hatch Building & Construction would be happy to issue a provisional cost estimate whilst you await planning approval.

If planning permission is granted then it’s now time to return to the architect and get the plans drawn up ready for building control approval.

Once the plans are at building control standards its advisable to instruct your structural engineer, this is who designs the structural elements of the build you have had designed by your architect.

HELPFUL TIP: Ask and pay for a site visit from the engineer, especially if your design requires lots of the existing structure to be removed, this will pay dividends as the build starts.

Submit your building control plans and structural calculations to either your local authority building control or private building control contractor for approval.

Whilst you await building control approval resend all plans and structural drawings and calculations to Hatch Building & Construction and we will give you a Revised estimate.

HELPFUL TIP: It's also a good time to send Hatch Building & Construction any details and specific designs from yourself such as glazing requirements, electrical design specification and plumbing and heating requirements.

At this stage your finalised estimate will be sent for you to approve. Once a booking has been confirmed we will then send our customers our terms and conditions along with the payments schedule to be agreed and returned.

Hatch Building & Construction will undertake the work quoted for within the discussed time frames that have been agreed. We will deal with your chosen building control throughout the build process to enable the project to be signed off and a building certification to be issued upon completion.
