Submitting a set of plans

The plans accompanying your application must be fully detailed. They must be prepared by someone with the appropriate skills and technical expertise, for example:

  • an architect or architectural technologist
  • a chartered surveyor
  • a civil or structural engineer

Poor quality drawings are likely to result in a delay in obtaining your building warrant.
