Could This Write-Up Be The Definitive Answer To Your Local Builders ?

Building a new property or extending your property are very large investments and a huge part of your life, therefore, it is important that you find the right builder for your project.

The area in which you live will have a major bearing on the type of building that you construct and the materials that you use. In many areas within the Port Lincoln there are listed buildings for which there are planning restrictions. For listed buildings you will even need planning permission to refurbish or change a room, especially bathrooms and kitchens. Altering or replacing windows will always require planning permission.

So always make initial enquiries regarding planning permission prior to initiating the work. Although good builders, with experience of building within your area should know what is allowed and what is not, it is always best to clarify the requirements for yourself. Therefore make enquiries to your local Council Planning Department. Then it is advisable to ensure that you select a firm of Builders whom are qualified to work on listed buildings.

Similar rules apply to Conservation Areas, and if you are building a new home or property it is essential that you make all the necessary enquiries regarding the land that you intend to build on. There will be all manner of restrictions which you will not necessarily be aware of, such as it being an offence to lop or fell any trees within a Conservation Area without consent of the local council.

If you are considering an extension, this can be slightly more concise, and will need good and experienced local builders in Port Lincoln to advise you accordingly. You will be required to match any building brick or stone used to that of the original building as closely as possible, and then some may not be considered suitable by the Council Planning Department.
