Production drawings, planning permission and build cost

This stage of a Red Square home interior design is undertaken after the concept design has been completed.

After approval of the general layout scheme, Red Square produces production drawings and creates an outline build cost report.

The preparation of detailed production drawings allows the agreed concept to be developed, so that major decisions on layout and materials can be defined prior to design detailing.

It is at this stage that Red Square seeks formal planning permission, if necessary. This should be a straightforward process if pre-planning enquiries were undertaken during Concept design.

The outline budget based on the specifications for materials, fittings and services are refined, but will not generally include fixtures and fittings as the sourcing of these is undertaken at a later stage. more

Red Square assists with planning approval and cost estimating.

Red Square develops meticulous production drawings, which are used for planning permission. These also help to determine the build cost. The work carried out includes:

• Planning - where required we handle the preparation and submission of the planning application and obtaining all necessary approvals. Full plans are produced and forwarded for statutory approval (approx 6-8 week process), permitted development (approx 3-4 week process) or listed building approval (approx 6-8 week process)
• Outline build cost report - this includes costings for structural work as well as internal build works.

This completes Phase 1: Design planning and budget costing. Phase 2: interior design specification involves the documentation of design detailing and the materials and product specification. During this phase the fixtures and fittings are sourced and full specification of products for procurement purposes are drawn-up. Find out more information about design detailing.
