STEP TWO
Free Consultation

STEP THREE
Budget Estimate
If you're happy to proceed, we may charge a call-out fee to visit the property; we can then gather the information needed to produce a budget build cost, including project management, design fee's & other fees if required. We can enter into a binding agreement if you approve the provisional numbers.

STEP FOUR
3D Measured Survey
The architect will visit your property and survey all the required measurements for us to complete accurate drawings of the proposed development. This takes around 60 mins depending on the size of the project.

STEP FIVE
Proposed Design
The RIBA approved architect will then produce schematic drawings for your approval and discuss any changes that you would like to make before the submission for planning.

STEP SIX
Planning Permission
We will submit the planning application on your behalf and negotiate with the local planning office to get the best result. Planning permission usually takes around two months. Future Build London will also bring in specialist planning consutlants if the property is listed or challenging.

STAGE SEVEN
Building Regulation
Once the construction drawings are passed by building control, you will be ready for build. We use local authorities or private building control companies in some cases. Work is also started on the interior design, scope of works & cost plan.

STEP EIGHT
Structural Calculations
One of our fully qualified structural engineer partner will produce structural drawings. This is an important part of the design, it will present a clear scope of how to achieve the construction of the project.

STEP NINE
Party Wall Agreements
Generally any structural alterations which tie into the neighbours property will require a party wall agreement. Some times this process takes time, it all depends on the neighbours & surveyors response times.

STEP TEN
Project Management & QS
Work on the detailed cost plan. To take the cost uncertainty and risk away from your project, we highly recommend instructing Future Build London to project manage the processes & take on responsibility for the health and safety CDM 2015.
