Design
Requirements
We are happy to provide an initial design
idea for clients and / or builders from
photos and simple survey information.
A description of the proposed extension
such as Mansard Orangery 7 x 4m with bi-
folds facing out to the garden is enough for
us to put an initial sketch design together
along with a few photos of the property.
Information needed
Some companies will only provide a design service or quote if you accept one of
their ‘designers’ conducts a site visit. These are actually sales reps who rarely
even do their own drawings and quotes. They pass on the information to head
office for drawings and quotations and will often refuse to email the drawing as
they want to present their ‘sales pitch’.
We don’t do this!
If you wish us to provide a sketch design and
quotation we can do this not only for Garages
but also for Garden Rooms, Orangeries and
Conservatories but we do require just a small
amount of information for extensions. We
have a range of Standard Garages where we
can quickly provide a quotation once we know
a delivery location.
Contact us for a design drawing and quotation.
We would produce a sketch design of the
proposed building for initial comments and can quote from this design.
Once you are happy with the price we would then need to visit site (for an
extension) to do a full survey before either applying for planning permission (if
required) or CAD manufacture drawings.
We can provide frame assembly and roof tiling - groundworks are usually done
by a local builder although we can suggest a partner builder in the Midlands or
South East.
What we need - Photos, Measurements and Description
1. an overall view of the elevation where the extension is to be sited.
2. one or two close ups of any awkward corners.
3. a rough set of site measurements.
4. a description of the building required.
5. a site address.
6. contact details.
From the information
provided we will
produce a 3d drawing
with a proposal of what
your building could look
like.
This design can be
amended to suit and
when happy with the
design we will provide a
quotation for the services required.
If planning approval is
required (we can advise
on this) we can supply
either planning
drawings or we can
provide the full
planning service.
Once planning is
approved or you are
happy with the quotation if planning isn’t required, we then require a deposit to
start the production process.
We will then produce CAD drawings for the frame, groundworks and roofworks
ready for site delivery and assembly of the frame.
Garages
The easiest and
quickest way to get a
garage drawing and
quote is to use our
quote forms. Both
Single storey garages
and garages with a
first floor can be
requested from the
Boscobel quote page
or Victory page. Other buildings can be quoted from the Bespoke quote page
although Garden Rooms and Orangeries will be drawn as stand alone buildings.
This will result in a quotation based on our standard size buildings however we
are still happy to design and quote from basic sketches. Sketches without any
dimensions will result is a quote from our standard sizes.
If you ask for a span or size that
is difficult or impossible to
achieve with oak, we will advise
on the possibilities or
alternatives and will usually
provide a design that can be
built.
Even a scribbled ‘post it’ note is good enough for us to produce a sketch and
quote.
Please Note
The drawing we provide will only be as good as the information provided and
whilst we will try to accommodate any amendments to design, this is limited
and dependent on the quality of information supplied - if there’s an important
first floor window to avoid, then we need to know about it - preferably with a
dimension. If you are ready to place an order then we are happy to visit site to
take check dimensions - this is almost always required for a garden room or any
building attached to the house.
