Converting a barn to a home can often be more costly than building a house from scratch, therefore it is paramount that every stage of a conversion of this nature is planned meticulously. Permission for the change of use and planning will need to be obtained, which will normally involve producing accurate plans and require that you employ the services of an architect. Good project management and accurate estimates for the work to be carried out are essential if a project of this nature is to be finished within budget and time constraints. Almost certainly you will need to arrange for services such as mains electricity, water, and sewerage (in remote areas it is likely that a septic tank is required).
Normandy Building Services will be happy to discuss your conversion requirements whether you require full project management or just an estimate for any single aspect of your project. For information on how we handle estimates please see our
