We regularly assess the structural and technical feasibility of basement extensions in Highgate, including ground conditions, structural implications for the existing building and neighbouring properties, drainage, waterproofing requirements and party wall considerations.
We prepare structural feasibility statements, technical constraints reports, condition assessments of existing buildings, and supporting evidence for planning applications. These documents address the technical questions that planning officers and building control will raise during the application process.
Pre-application advisory identifies technical constraints and potential issues before you invest in detailed design drawings and planning application fees. By addressing problems early, you avoid abortive design costs, reduce the risk of refusal, and can budget accurately for the full scope of works including any remedial requirements.
