Your project design and permissions simplified

Design changes requested after completion of the design approval document will result in a change order. A change order is work that is added to or removed from the scope of work in this document, which alters the cost and the completion date of the drawings. Any changes made after this point will incur an additional 20% Loomin services fee.

The drawings we provide are created to the same (if not better) standard as your local Architect. Our plans are created by an experienced member of our design team and will include everything the council require to process your planning or permitted development application. By streamlining our process and removing the unnecessary site visits we can provide the same detailed plans at a much cheaper price.

Building control is responsible for checking and approving your building regulation drawings, specifications and structural engineering documents. You can opt for either the local council or a private firm that will appoint a building inspector to liaise with your builder and visit the site throughout construction to ensure building regulations are being complied with. A building control application must be submitted prior to the commencement of construction works for all building projects.

Upon approval of your planning application your building regulation drawings and engineers’ calculations will be submitted to building control for an application, this is to ensure all the information we have provided is double-checked and compliant by a third party before work commences. This also goes for the builder too, the inspector will ensure the builder has followed our plans and installed them correctly resulting in a certificate, signing off the project. Once the application has been submitted you will receive the name and number of your assigned inspector who your builder can contact to arrange the different site visits.

A member of our Design Operations team will arrive at your home on your scheduled date & time to conduct your site survey. Typically, this takes 1-2 hours. During the first half of their visit they will take photos, videos & measurements of existing conditions as well as make note of any field conditions that could change the scope of your project. Once they have completed these measurements they will ask you a few questions about your intentions for the space & other relevant information. This context is helpful to capture prior to your design session. They will send you a recap email detailing any additional scope that has been added to your project. If there are cost implications associated with these changes, your project planner or designer will reach out to review them.
