Common questions

Planning your building project.

Practical answers about permissions, timescales, project management and aftercare.

Do I need planning permission?

It depends on the property, location and proposed work. Some extensions may fall within permitted development rights, while larger schemes, listed buildings, conservation areas and homes with restricted rights can require an application. We help identify the likely route and coordinate with the appropriate planning and design professionals before construction begins.

How long does a typical extension take?

A straightforward rear or side extension often takes around 10 to 16 weeks once construction starts. The final programme depends on the scale, structural work, access, specification and product lead times. Before starting, we provide a project-specific schedule and explain the key stages and decisions.

Will you manage the whole project?

Yes. Gibson Builders can coordinate the building team, specialist trades, deliveries, inspections and day-to-day sequence from site setup through to completion. You have a dedicated point of contact, regular progress updates and transparent decisions throughout the work.

What happens after completion?

We inspect the finished work with you, complete any agreed snagging and provide a thorough handover. We remain available for practical questions after completion and will address any items covered by the agreed workmanship and product arrangements.
