• GARAGE CONVERSIONS DRAWINGS •
Garage Conversions are a great way of adding an extra bedroom or reception rooms without extending. We will prepare all the relevant drawings required to obtain Planning Permission and Building Regulations approval for your garage conversion project. Both approval certificates last 3 years, giving you ample time to obtain the recommended minimum of 3 quotes from local builders. They can also build from our drawings.
WILL I NEED PLANNING PERMISSION?
Not necessarily! Many garages can be converted under permitted devlopment as long as:
- You are not altering the external structure (other than changing the door for a window)
- You don't live in a designated area
- Permitted development rights haven't been removed
EXTENDING OVER GARAGES
Extending over a garage is also great way of adding extra bedrooms / ensuites without losing garden space. This generally requires a planning application as well as building regulations. Sometimes the existing garage is strong enough, or can me made strong enough, to support the additional storey, othertimes it required the rebuilding of the garage first.
WHAT WILL IT COST?
For Construction costs this is a difficult question to answer accurately as the price will depend upon many factors, including size, features, quality of finish, and even the builder used. Builders will only be able to give accurate quotes once they have the approved Building Regs drawings. However, as a rough estimate it is common to assume an average garage conversion will cost in the region of £8000.00 upwards, and around £2000.00 per aquare metre if rebuilding.
