PLEASE NOTE:

This application process may involve additional costs in terms of:
a) Preparation of plans/details
b) Exposing and correcting defective work.

PLEASE NOTE:

Please provide a condition report from suitably qualified building surveyor (example RICS) to confirm state of works undertaken, and the level of compliance of the work carried out. (Example calculations, photos, as-built plans etc).

For an extension to a property or new building provide a plan to a scale of not less than 1:1250 and identify the building work on that plan.
We may request further information where appropriate.

Once received (depending on the nature of the work in question) the surveyor will require certain parts of the work to be opened up or exposed for inspection in order to assess its compliance. In order to facilitate this procedure on site you may need the services of a builder or other suitably qualified person to assist you.

Where the work is found not to be in compliance the surveyor will notify you accordingly.

Once the work is found to be in compliance a Regularisation Certificate will be issued to you as confirmation.

Planning permission may also be required for the work. If you require further information please visit the on line https://www.planningportal.co.uk/ or contact Birmingham City Council’s Planning Team.

Once an application has been deposited the charge cannot be refunded.

CHARGING SCHEME

The fee tables outline our standard charges.
The ‘Estimated Cost’ is the full cost of the work must base upon a reasonable market rate. Professional fees, i.e., Architect, Engineer, Land Acquisition costs may be discounted from this calculation. In addition, decorative finishes, floor coverings and fittings, which are not subject to Building Regulation, can therefore be excluded from the estimate.
Where a charge category asks for measurements these are internal metric floor areas. Where more than one storey is involved the combined floor area should be used for charge calculation purposes.
If more than one element of work has been carried out, then it may be that more than one charge is payable, e.g. a loft conversion and a single storey kitchen extension
