Designing Your Garage Conversion

The design phase of the garage conversion focuses on creating accurate drawings of your existing and proposed changes, factoring in anything that you want to be included in the finished project as well as our own expertise and guidance as required to give you a design that is perfectly suited to your needs.

We’ll be able to combine your ideas with our own to provide designs that work practically as well as aesthetically. That will factor in intricacies like power, access, light and heat as well as things like available space placements and material choices too.

Planning Permission for Garage Conversions in Lincolnshire

The majority of garage conversions in Lincoln and Lincolnshire as a whole generally won’t need planning permissions. That of course isn’t a blanket rule, but it is typically the case. Garage conversions that are utilising the existing footprint go a garage can be done under permitted development rights.

While that doesn’t apply in larger cases or for properties within conservation areas or as a part of a conservation area, it’s still common. Whatever your garage conversion project needs, we will provide all for the services and enquiries required to get you the permissions, certificates and approvals that you need to convert correctly.

Building Regulations for Garage Conversions

Depending on what it is that you want to do with the completed garage conversion, you may need to have building control approval for it to do be created legally. Building regulations drawings are the best way to go about this. They contain information detailing the specifics of the build required to comply with building control standards. That includes things like access, heat, light, ventilation, fire safety and much more.

These drawings can then be used to get accurate quotations from builders to do the conversion itself, and in many cases will also act as the foundation of their building work following their own site inspection and changes/additional information. We will also submit this and liaise with your local Building Control authority to gain approval for this too.

Building your home extension

Once you have all necessary drawings, approvals and permissions,, the final stage of the process is of course the actual conversion. Most builders will be able to do this relatively easily depending on the extent of your conversion (an annexe is harder than a home bar, for example). We are happy to recommend builders for this and will support you however we can for your project.

Alternatively, if you’d like CK Architectural to handle your project for you, we do also provide a highly effective project management service too, where we’ll work with you in selecting builders, mediate all communications, inspect their progress regularly and hold the builders accountable to all necessary work even once completed, too.
