Are you looking to get planning permission, Listed Building consent or Project administration for a barn conversion in Bath, the South West or South Wales?

Western Building Consultants have a wealth of knowledge and experience providing comprehensive architectural designs and surveying services for rural barn conversions.

Our conservation experts including chartered architects, surveyors and structural engineers can help you design your dream home, business premises or development. Utilising our key surveying skills we have experience in bringing the most agricultural of barns into usage, including the conversion of more modern barn constructions such as portal framed structures and concrete block buildings.

We have worked on numerous listed barn conversions and can help navigate the planning and listed building frameworks, to help you achieve the reuse of agricultural buildings.

If you own an agricultural barn, whether it’s made of traditional stone, steel portal frame, or concrete, you might be able to convert it into up to three dwelling units without full planning permission, thanks to Class Q regulations.

At Western Building Consultants, we have extensive experience in dealing with such structures, from the initial survey and appraisals of structural stability to the design of the barns.

Contact us today for more information about our expertise in barn conversions, including Class Q barn conversions. www.westernbuildingconsultants.co.uk

Are you moving home? Purchasing a new (or old) property? You will need a Building Surveyor!

We provide RICS Building Surveys at WBC. A RICS Building Survey involves a comprehensive inspection of the property, including the structure, roof, walls, floors, damp issues, insulation, services (where visible), and any signs of movement or structural concern. The final report highlights defects, explains their significance, and advises on necessary repairs or further investigations.

For more information on the different surveying options we provide visit our website https://westernbuildingconsultants.com/wbc-services/rics-residential-surveys/
