It is rather exciting when you take the first steps and start to plan work such as a conversion or extension for your property. A lot of people get carried away with the design aspect of it all though. As a result they can overlook when they should carry out the work. For help ensuring you time your project correctly and assistance with all the other aspects of the work, seek out a renowned architect in London. When you contact a firm like Coffey Architects, this is precisely what you will enjoy.

What time is best?

Ideal timing for jobs does vary depending on whether it is external work or internal. Even then an exact answer will depend on the specific structure and the circumstances of the job. For example, you need to consider the complexity and size of the work.

It is best to carry out a loft conversion in the summer as this is when the weather is more likely to be better. In the winter months there are shorter dark days which can hamper the work. In addition, poor weather such as snow and wind can cause issues. Also, it is better to schedule an extension for summertime when it involves breaking through into the main house. This will help you to avoid delays that come from winter weather. A smoother project will help you save money.

How long before building can commence?

In addition to the above, you will need to consider the time it takes to draw up the plans for your project and obtaining planning permission. You will have to factor this into your timing to help you establish when to start the process. Another crucial step you need to remember is submitting plans for Building Control inspections. This is necessary so that you know the project is compliant with building regulations. It can take 2 to 3 months.
