Design & Building Permits
Design and permit drawings to HOAI phases 3 and 4: developed design, building permit application and liaison with the authority through to consent.
From a design that works to a building permit that has been granted.
Developed design
The design worked through and coordinated with every discipline – structure, building physics and services included, because a design that only meets the engineering during detailed design gets expensive.
Permit application
The application with everything it needs: drawings, the building description, area and volume calculations, and verification of stability, fire, thermal and acoustic performance. Plus liaison with the building authority until consent is in hand.
Where applications stall
Rarely on the design. Usually on incomplete verification, or on departures from the rules that were not justified. Both can be settled in advance.
