In London there’s a pressing need for more homes due to a growing population. Building new houses can be costly and often sparks disputes over suitable land. An alternative profitable approach involves converting houses into flats, promoting individual access and boosting landlords and developers’ income – a win-win situation. Igloo Plans can help execute this transformation efficiently.
“At Igloo Plans, we kick off by understanding your vision for your flat conversion. Whether it’s a house to flat conversion, office to flat conversion, or any other building transforming into living space, we collaborate with you to create a concept and design that suits your preferences and needs.”
"Igloo Plans then develops comprehensive architectural plans for the flat conversion. These plans cover measurements, floor layouts, window placements, electrical outlets, plumbing, and any structural changes necessary for your project."
"For structural modifications like adding or removing walls, altering the roof structure, or making other changes, our team performs detailed structural calculations and assessments. This ensures that your flat conversion is not only innovative but also safe and compliant with building standards. Our experienced structural engineers are available to assist in this critical aspect of the project."
"While planning permission is required for a hose to flat conversion, adhering toplanning regulations is crucial. Our plans clearly outline how we intend to meet these regulations, addressing aspects such as insulation, fire safety, ventilation, and electrical work."
"If your flat conversion shares a wall with your neighbour's property, obtaining a Party Wall Agreement might be necessary. This agreement ensures that your conversion doesn't negatively impact the structural integrity of the shared wall. You'll be responsible for securing the party wall agreement with our guidance and support."
"After finalizing your plans and structural calculations, Igloo Plans submits these documents to your local authority for approval. The local authority conducts a thorough review to ensure that your plans comply with planning regulations and uphold safety standards."
"With approval from the local authority, you can initiate the flat conversion. Igloo Plans can connect you with skilled contractors and builders who will bring your vision to life according to the approved plans. They'll also ensure strict compliance with building regulations throughout the construction process."
"During the construction phase, local authority inspectors will conduct site visits to verify that the work aligns with the approved plans. Upon completion, a final inspection is typically required to confirm that all regulations have been met. Igloo Plans ensures a seamless process from concept to completion, emphasizing both creativity and compliance in your flat conversion project."
