Design It Properly Before You Build It
Important decisions are easier and less expensive to resolve on paper than they are during construction.
Without clear drawings, individual builders may make different assumptions about what is included. This can result in quotations that are difficult to compare, missing items, unexpected extras and changes on site that lead to an attic being constructed that requires planning permission.
Our experience to date is that 2 out of 3 attics that involve alterations to the roof or dormer extensions or similar will require planning permission even with the new exempt regulations. That’s why it is critical to obtain professional advice before proceeding with your attic project.
The Attic Design Pack gives each builder the same clearly defined project to price and build. This reduces uncertainty and helps you understand what you are agreeing to before work begins and when your project gets on site.
Obtain clearer builder quotations
Identify missing items or exclusions

Avoid compromised layouts
