3. Disclaimers and Limitations
3.1 Planning Permission: We do not guarantee, warrant, or represent that planning permission will be granted by the local planning authority or that it will be granted without conditions that may be considered onerous or financially burdensome.
3.2 Project Scope: Our quotations assume the development is of standard scope, size, and location. If your project involves unusual factors (e.g., complex site conditions or unique architectural requirements), please inform us so we can assess the impact on the scope and pricing.
3.3 Building Techniques: We assume that your property is built using standard materials and construction techniques. Should the property contain any unusual features (e.g., underground springs), this may affect our services.
3.4 Third-Party Rights: We do not guarantee that your project will not infringe third-party rights or contravene obligations with your mortgage provider or local authorities. We advise you to seek legal advice for any issues related to rights of light, restrictive covenants, or third-party claims.
3.5 Building Regulations: We strongly recommend Full Plans approval when applying for Building Regulations. If you choose the Building Notice application, we are not responsible for any additional costs or issues that arise.
3.6 Principal Designer: We will not accept the role of Principal Designer under the Building Regulations 2023 amendments or any statutory modifications thereof. Once construction begins, the Principal Designer role must be accepted by the client or contractor.
3.7 Design and Build Package: If the Design and Build package is chosen, the structural calculations will be limited to three standard-sized beams. Any additional or complex structural calculations will not be included and may incur an additional cost, which will be the responsibility of the client if they wish to proceed.
3.8 Planning Outcome: We cannot guarantee the outcome of any planning application. Our services aim to provide the necessary documentation and support for the application, but the final decision rests solely with the relevant local authority.
