Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for my building project?
The majority of residential building works fall within ‘permitted development rights’, with no planning permission needed. Your local planning authority should be able to confirm. However, there are certain criteria that the project must meet, while leasehold properties, Conservation Area homes and listed buildings do not benefit from permitted development. Planning consent will generally be required for major structural alterations and large-scale developments. As part of our fully project managed design & build services, Black Olive Construction will liaise with local planners and get the necessary paperwork.
Why do I need to hire an architect?
Large-scale structural projects that involve remodelling an existing space or creating a new space will require an architect or designer to assist with planning. If you’re extending the building or creating a new structure, an architect will be able to anticipate the best views, observe the direction of the sun and the landscape, and advise on what will work best structurally and proportionally. As a vertically integrated company, Black Olive Construction provides complete design solutions to support our building activities, which includes architectural design.
What sort of building projects do you specialise in?
At Black Olive Construction, we specialise in the design, management and build for all kinds of residential property in Brighton, including Regency, Victorian and Edwardian homes, modern flats and houses and new builds.
