We had our builder round last night to discuss a few things regarding our kitchen extension/orangery project. We needed to clarify some things and change some aspects of the design to ensure it is exactly what we want.
It was a very constructive meeting and we gave him the go-ahead to refer the project to his planner who will contact us and take us through the planning application process.
This is a big step for us, one that we should have taken several weeks ago, however, delays in getting quotes back from suppliers and work commitments have meant that things have got a little delayed. This is a problem for us as the planning application process could take up to 12 weeks meaning that the build might be starting in the first week of September.
Hopefully this will mean that we can get the building work done during September and fingers crossed the weather will hold out for us. Any later and the weather could become more changeable which would impact the build.
This is all assuming of course that the planning application a. takes 12 weeks and b. is passed, but we will face either of those if they happen to arise.
I am now in the process of updating my project plan, when things get a little more progressed I will update the chosen suppliers as to the expected time for delivery.
This starts the ball rolling, keeping everything in check will take a great deal of time and effort but the end result will be well worthwhile.
