Construction Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about materials, regulations, or timelines? Read common answers below.

Many small extensions and loft conversions fall under 'Permitted Development' rights, meaning they do not require full planning permission. However, they must still comply with specific size and height limitations. Larger builds or properties in conservation areas will require planning permission. The trade teams we arrange can guide you on these requirements.

Building regulations are statutory standards that ensure buildings are safe, energy-efficient, and accessible. Virtually all construction projects (such as extensions, loft conversions, structural wall removals) require building regulations approval. The builders arranged for your project will work to these standards and coordinate inspections with local authorities.

Yes, we encourage you to share your architectural drawings and structural calculations. This helps us review your project details quickly and prepare an accurate quote based on your exact specifications.

A standard single-storey rear extension usually takes between 8 to 12 weeks from groundworks to a watertight plaster finish. Double-storey extensions or complex structural renovations can take 16 weeks or more.

For extensions, yes, homeowners usually remain in the property, though there will be periods of disruption, particularly when breaking through the structural walls. For extensive whole-house renovations, it is often more comfortable to arrange temporary accommodation.

Yes, coordinating multiple trades is one of Proper Trades' core strengths. We will arrange the core building team, plus the electricians, plumbers, plasterers, and joiners required to finish the extension or conversion.

Foundations are dug in accordance with building regulations, typically to a minimum depth of 1 metre, but they can be deeper depending on soil type, nearby trees, and local authority inspector requirements.

An RSJ (Rolled Steel Joist) is a heavy steel beam used in structural alterations to support the weight of the building when a load-bearing wall is removed. An engineer's calculations are required to determine the correct size.
