Did you know? 👀

Building Standards don’t check the overall quality of your builder’s work.

Their role is to assess whether building work complies with the relevant building regulations and the approved building warrant, rather than acting as a general quality check on workmanship.

That’s why having the right professionals involved throughout your project is so important, helping ensure the design is properly detailed and the work is being carried out as intended.

Great afternoon of continuous professional development with Lindab, focusing on residential ventilation and the important role it plays in creating healthy, comfortable and well-performing homes.

A valuable opportunity to refresh our knowledge, explore current ventilation solutions and consider how these can be integrated effectively into our residential projects.

Thanks to the Lindab team for an informative and engaging session! 👏

Planning Permission Approved ✔️

We’re pleased to announce planning permission has been approved for a single-storey factory extension in Dundee, providing additional storage space for BRE via Scot-Steel Buildings.

The extension will provide a practical and efficient addition to the existing facility, supporting the client’s operational needs while complementing the established industrial setting.

We’re looking forward to seeing this project progress through to the next stage.

So, what exactly is a Design Statement?

It’s a document that explains the thinking and design principles behind a proposed development including how the design responds to the site, its surroundings and relevant planning policies.

It helps communicate not just what is being proposed, but the reasoning behind the design decisions.

Not every project requires one, but where applicable, it can form an important part of the planning process.

Follow along as we make some of the terminology used in architecture and planning a little easier to understand.

MYTH / REALITY 🏡

Think a small extension automatically means no planning permission is needed? Not always.

Some home extensions in Scotland can fall under permitted development rights, meaning a planning application may not be required but there are specific rules around things like size, height, location and the type of property.

And remember, planning permission isn’t the only consideration. Other approvals, such as a building warrant, may still be required.

Considering extending your home? Our team can help you understand the requirements and guide you through the process from the initial idea onwards.

Thinking about extending your home? 🏡

Before getting started, here are 3 things worth considering:

01 - Planning & permissions
Understanding what approvals your project may require.

02 - Building standards
Making sure your extension meets current Scottish building standards.

03 - How you’ll use the space
Good design isn’t just about adding more space — it’s about creating space that works for the way you live.

Considering an extension? Our team can help guide you through the process, from the initial ideas through to bringing your plans to life.
