MAKING CHANGES TO YOUR PROPERTY AND IT'S STRUCTURE

Structural alterations refer to any changes made to the underlying structure of a property, such as adding or removing walls, modifying the foundation, or making changes to the roof or exterior.

These types of changes can have a significant impact on the safety and integrity of a building, and as such, they typically require special permits and approvals from local authorities.

If you’re planning on making structural alterations to your property, it’s important to understand the process and requirements involved. This webpage will provide an overview of what you need to know to get started, including information on permits, inspections, and working with a licensed contractor.

Whether you’re looking to add a room, remodel your kitchen, or make other changes to your home, we hope that this information will help make the process as smooth and successful as possible.

 

The first thing people will have to do when considering making structural changes to their property is to research and understand the local building codes and regulations.

This typically involves checking with the local building department to find out what permits and approvals are required for the specific type of alteration they are planning.

It’s important to understand the requirements in advance, as failure to obtain the necessary permits can result in fines or even having to undo the work that has been done. Additionally, it’s also important to work with a licensed contractor that has experience in making structural alterations.

HOW CAN NEW HAVEN BUILDING COMPANY HELP WITH STRUCTURAL CHANGES?

 

  1. Permit application: A local building company will be familiar with the local building codes and regulations and can assist with the permit application process. They will be able to ensure that all necessary documents and plans are submitted to the local building department, and that the application is complete and meets all the requirements.

  2. Inspections: Local building codes will typically require inspections at various stages of the construction process to ensure that the work is being done to code and that the structure is safe. A local building company will be able to schedule these inspections and make sure that the work passes inspection.

  3. Compliance: A local building company will have the knowledge and experience to ensure that the structural alterations being made are compliant with local codes and regulations. This includes understanding what materials are allowed, how the new structure will be supported, and what fire safety measures need to be put in place.

  4. Cost and time estimates: An experienced local building company will be able to give accurate cost and time estimates for the structural alterations, which will help in budgeting and planning the project.

    Had a very good experience with Ross and his team. They did an excellent job relocating our kitchen, transforming our dining room into a kitchen-diner and creating a new study where our old galley kitchen was. The job involved some tricky drainage and pipe work, which they carried out without a hitch.

    They also fitted a fantastic new wooden floor throughout the study, kitchen-diner and extending right through the hallway, which looks and feels great. I particularly appreciated that they managed to do this all within the original timescale for the job because the floor was a bit of a late request from me after work had already started.

    Without exception the work Ross and his team have done for us has been of a high quality and very reasonably priced. Communication was also good. Unlike some other companies I have dealt with he actually gets back to you. Overall I would definitely recommend New Haven Building Company for any kind of home renovation work.

    Newhaven Building Company recently completed a garage conversion for us. The work was completed well ahead of schedule, within budget and we’re delighted with the results. Ross and his team did a great job, kept us updated throughout and also went to great lengths to minimise mess and disruption both inside and out (to the point that some neighbours pointed out how tidy they are!).

    Every aspect of the work was covered by Newhaven, so we had no need to involve any other tradespeople ourselves. I’d also not hesitate to recommend all the other guys Ross had involved in the work…roofer, painter, electrician, plasterer, carpet fitter….all were great.

    The end result is a full finished garage conversion exactly as we’d hoped for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Newhaven Building Company to anyone.

    I just wanted to say how delighted we are with the work that Ross and his team have done. Knocking down a conservatory, making a new sun room and transforming our kitchen and dining room into one amazing light space.
    They were such quick and efficient at the work and it was completed well ahead of schedule. Ross and his team are such hard workers and really professional. Ross project managed the whole thing so it was seamless from start to finish. They were so tidy despite the disruptive work they were doing and very reliable.
    I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to do any building work and think you would be daft to go anywhere else!!
