Buying a house is likely to be the most expensive purchase you will ever make - that's why it's so important to know as much as possible about the building before you commit. A thorough Building Survey or HomeBuyer Report carried out by a qualified and experienced building surveyor can help answer these kinds of questions, and offers you a firm foundation upon which to make an informed decision about your property purchase.
Whatever is required for your individual project, we are experienced in making complete Planning, Building Regulation and Listed Building applications, working hard towards success in our submissions. With the architecture of the property and your requirements in mind, we will prepare detailed working drawings using the latest AutoCAD software, incorporating revisions and amendments until you are happy with the design.
If you are planning significant alterations to your property, or building your own home, you will need Planning Permission from your Local Authority. The experienced Planning Consultancy team at db+PAUL can help you prepare comprehensive and professional Planning Applications for submission to the Local Authority, improving your chances of a favourable outcome.

Professional, friendly and very helpful. That sums up my experience with db & Paul. My first contact was with Jeni, who was very pleasant and understanding. The visit from Nick German was excellent in terms of both the advice given and the report. He was helpful in recommending a suitable person to make repairs and liaising with us both.

I have used db+Paul several times over the last few years, firstly to do full building surveys on two properties that I subsequently purchased, and secondly to investigate a damp problem in a bedroom. They have always been prompt and proactive and their surveys comprehensive and helpful. They will always be my surveyors of choice, and I would highly recommend them.

We wanted to convert a barn at our property which is a listed building, into a holiday let. We employed D B + Paul who oversaw the project from the planning stage right through to completion. The project has now completed and we are delighted with the help and support that we received from Nick German in particular. We would have no hesitation in recommending them for building projects and surveying.
