Oct 2009 - Jan 2010: Plannning permission & tendering

Our architect got going very quickly with the plans & we got our planning permission at the first attempt in early December. We appointed a quantity surveyor and on December 23rd 2009, the tender pack went out to the short-listed building contractors. I'd been interviewing builders for a few months, and had a nice short-list of hopefully competent contractors. Tender responses came back more-or-less on time, and we appointed the contractor by end of January 2010, and they took possession of the site by mid February. All in all we are delighted to have got cracking in such good time - due mostly to my great planning, a good architect & QS, and the incentive that every week in our rented house is money wasted!
