Insight From a Chartered Surveyor:

An interview with a surveyor who explains some key issues when making changes to your property.

In this module we interview Chris MacGowan who is a Chartered Surveyor and discusses the five main issues when opening up space that is so popular with today’s lifestyle and open plan living with kitchen, dining and living areas combined together to give just one area.

What to expect...

This module will give you a heads up before employing your own Surveyor as to what questions to ask and also to appreciate the pre-design work as well as the interior design layout for open plan living.

Knowing what to expect in terms of the professional costs will be the start of your budget. You may need a planning application, engineer’s reports and a Scope of Works to get an outline cost for the build part, plus all the additional fixtures and fittings.
