GET THE CORRECT ADVICE BEFORE YOU START !

Extension plans Marlow High Wycombe and MaidenheadBlindly engaging on design and drawing work before knowing the relevant issues applicable to your scheme (Planning and Building Regulations) can be a costly mistake for any home or business owner.

The Christopher Hunt Practice fully understands this and has developed a unique 'pre-design assessment and report service' where we will come and visit your site, spend time listening to your needs and requirements.

We will then analyse the site specific issues relating to Planning and Building Regulations and explain in detail how these may affect your building scheme together with an options list for your consideration.

Unless you are able to properly 'risk assess' the proposed building scheme with regard to planning and design issues and consider all the 'options' together with a complete 'check-list' of the 'relevant issues' applicable to your site that the Council normally expect to be included or accommodated, then you run a serious risk of incurring abortive fees and wasted time for the required drawings and specifications.

Should you then decide to engage The Christopher Hunt Practice (CHP) for the full or partial Architectural Services element of your scheme then you can choose to engage his services in the normal manner.
