How can someone tell if their Garage is suitable for conversion?
What type of construction is the garage? typically you want a solid wall construction as a good starting point. Access? If attached to the house is there an obvious route to access the new space from the house. Ceiling height? what height is the horizontal roof members from the existing conc floor? remember that the new space will have to have the floor level increased to accommodate insulation etc, a finished dimension of 2m will be required to satisfy building regulations. Will you be extending to the size of the conversion? planning permission could come into play. When converting an attached garage with no addition planning permission will not be needed.
Run us through the different stages of the Garage conversion process - what's involved?
Initial meeting and survey: a full measured survey of the area to determine if the conversion would comply with the current building regulations.
Planning and building regulations advice: Advice would be given regarding whether planning permission would be required and what level of work would be required to obtain a building warrant.
Preparation of plans: Prepare plans suitable for local authority submission for planning (if required) and building warrant.
Tender: issue drawings to contractors for tendering and report back to you with a tender breakdown assessment.
Construction: award project to successful contractor and start construction phase through to completion, all construction work to be supervised by PMS.
How can someone tell if their loft is suitable for conversion?
The main issue with loft conversions is head height, a min of 2m clear will be required at the top of any proposed stair including the landing. Structural improvements are likely to accommodate the additional load on the floor. You will also need to think about access to the loft as a stair will have to be fitted in to access the new floor, is there room for a stair without compromising your existing floor layout?
