Detailed drawings are used for gaining building control approval from the various Local Authorities across Devon and in Plymouth. They can also be used by contractors to provide quotations and to build from. These plans are also used for gaining structural engineer details and submission to other bodies, such as South West Water for their approval. Meeting building regulation standards is a legal requirement ensuring any planned building work meets all health and safety regulations. There are a number of pieces of legislation relating to construction building standards, with one or more pieces of legislation that could apply at any given time.

Single storey extensions are very popular giving the benefit of adding both space and value to a home without the inconvenience of moving. Based in Ivybridge, at MHM Design everything we do is bespoke to your specifications. As such we will take as long as you need to get the right space and design you need. We will visit you to discuss your requirements in order to form a design brief. This brief will then be turned into a vision with the more information you give about what you are wanting, the better.

When looking at a loft conversion it does seems logical to leave the rest of the house as it is, convert the loft, and use this new space as the additional room needed. Taking this approach you could be missing an opportunity to replan the layout of your home so that it best suits the needs of your family - both now and for the future. For example, if you wish to use the extra space as a games room, or playroom, you may prefer to position this on the ground floor, where you are able to keep a closer eye on your children, and move an existing home office up into the converted loft space.
