The second design pack includes all the services from pack A and brings the project onto the next level providing tender drawings for detailed pricing of the job along with a site visit and certification package.

After the planning permission process the drawings are brought to ‘tender stage’. The tender package is essentially looking at the building in greater detail to that of the planning permission drawings, it is a document used to feed the builder information on how the extension is to be built, the construction details, who is supplying what materials, the electrical and plumbing layout and the finishes. The client is issued with copies of all the drawings and specifications and a more detailed elemental cost breakdown illustrating how much the works should cost based on current construction rates for labour and materials.

Consulting engineers will detail the foundations and the structure of the proposed extension, supplying all structural sizes required for the openings and alterations to the existing house.

We will visit the site at the intervals required by the lending institutes to release monies and also to check that the structure is carried out in accordance with building regulations.

When the works are complete, we will visit the site and issue certificates for compliance with building regulations and planning permission.

Some examples of situations where design pack B may be suitable.

•	If you want to proceed with the project management yourself but you need more information on how the building comes together in detail.
•	If you have a general knowledge of building and feel capable of managing the builder and the budget
•	If the extension is not too complex and you do not foresee many changes on site.
•	If you know or have a builder who you want to use and do not need to go through the tender process.
•	If you feel the size and complexity of the works is of a scale that you are confident to take the project through the construction process
