Scottish homes range from city tenements and sandstone terraces to bungalows and modern estates, and the building warrant process shapes the programme for every project.

What does a house-to-flat conversion involve?

We assess the house against the council’s policies on flat sizes, parking, bins and cycle storage before any design work, then design layouts to the space standards your council uses. On site the critical work is fire separation, sound insulation between floors, separate services and meters, and protected escape routes.

Do you need permission for a house-to-flat conversion in Buckie?

This needs planning permission and a building warrant from your council in Scotland before work starts.
