WHAT CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS DO WE NEED?
At Look Homes we make the complex task of collating all the required documentation as simple as possible.
In order to provide a detailed and fixed price quote to construct your new home, there are many documents required that make up the construction pack.
Pricing is not as simple as looking at a set of plans and hey presto we have a price. There are many contributing elements to the build process.
Don’t be overwhelmed, this is part of our service.
Here we provide a list of the documents that are required.
