Internal Wall Modifications
   
Sometimes the best way to create more space is to re-organise the internal layout. In simple terms this involves knocking down walls to create a more open-plan layout and re-building other walls to create extra rooms. But walls can be load-bearing or non-load-bearing. Whereas the latter can often be removed fairly easily without structural consideration, the former need to be done professionally.

1. This is where Simply Extend could help. Structural changes to a building require a building control application for approval. This can be done in two ways: a full planning control application that is made and approved in advance of the work being carried out, or planning control notice, which is an application submitted 48hrs before the work starts. Both have pros and cons and Simply Extend could advise you on the best option. So why not use out Simply Extend Planning Services and let us manage all of this on your behalf for a fixed price? 

2. Part of the building control application requires a structural design. This needs to be produced by a chartered civil engineer with back up calculations proving to building control that the proposal will be fit for purpose and structurally sound. Simply Extend has approved chartered civil engineers that can carry out all structural design work for you. All you need do is use our Simply Extend Structural Services and we'll give you a fixed price to do this for you.

 
 
  3. Once you have planning, building control and structural design approval, you are ready to start knocking down walls and altering the internal space. At this point you could you use Simply Extend Building Services. We'd give you a fixed price for the work, draw up a contract clearly detailing what we shall be delivering, an estimated timescale, and when payments will be due. All you need do is make sure you’re happy with the project’s scope, sign the contract and follow the payment schedule. Simply Extend will mobilise the construction team and manage the work to completion - as we say, simple!
