For Homeowners…

In late 2022 with an uptake in demand from private clients, AJ Building Control Design are now proud to offer full design services to take your project from the design phase to the point where it can be easily handed over to your chosen builder/contractor. Examples of projects we have been involved in include extensions, agricultural sheds, barn conversions and new home design. Now based in Harrogate we offer our services across Yorkshire.

What we now offer/ How the process works:

  • Initial planning advice– If you are thinking about making changes to your house and you are not sure if it requires planning approval or what it may entail. We now offer an initial no obligation meeting do discuss your proposals and see if we can make your dreams a reality.
  • Planning Submission– If your proposals require local planning authority approval, we now have the experience to submit applications to your local planning authority and push through your application in line with the relevant planning policy.
  • Arrangement of third party agents – Sometimes planning applications require input from third party agents as required by your planning authority. For example your application may require a bat survey, a heritage statement or a road survey. With experience in these types of applications we have trusted contacts in place ready to act on your behalf.
  • Building Control Application – AJ building Control design started back in 2020 with our primary focus being building control applications for Architects across the UK. Once approval has been gained from the the planning department, detailed drawings need to be done to ensure your proposed plans have been designed to regulations which then get approved by your local authority or private inspector. These detailed drawings also act as construction drawings for your builder allowing you to ascertain accurate quotes for your build. At this point a Structural engineer is consulted and any structural elements are designed and specified
  • Ready To Go! – Once planning approval and Building control plan approval is in place you are ready to go.
