Project Management

Home / Planning Services / Project Management 

Planning a building project can quickly become complex. Coordinating architects, engineers, contractors, budgets, timelines, and approvals requires expert oversight.

Planning Build provides professional project management services that ensure your development is delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest standard.

From initial feasibility and design coordination to construction delivery and final completion, our project managers oversee every stage so you don’t have to.

Whether you’re undertaking a house extension, loft conversion, new build, or commercial conversion, we manage the entire process from start to finish.

What is Construction Project Management?

Construction project management is the planning, coordination, and supervision of a building project from concept to completion.

A professional project manager ensures that:

  • The project stays within budget

  • The construction programme stays on schedule

  • All consultants and contractors are properly coordinated

  • Risks and delays are minimised

  • The project complies with planning permission and building regulations

At Planning Build, our project management service acts as the single point of responsibility for your entire development.

Our Planning & Build Process

We believe successful projects start with clarity. That’s why we follow a structured, transparent process from initial feasibility to final delivery.

Step 1: Planning Appraisal & Feasibility

At this stage, we assess:

  • Whether your proposed development is feasible

  • Whether planning permission is required

  • What type of application (if any) is needed

  • Estimated planning and consultant costs

  • Key planning risks and constraints

  • The overall likelihood of success

This early-stage assessment reduces uncertainty, minimises risk and ensures you make informed decisions before committing further time or investment.

Step 2: Design & Technical Preparation

If your project is viable, our team will guide you through the next stages.

We provide a fully integrated service including:

  • Architectural design

  • Planning permission applications

  • Building regulations drawings

  • Structural engineering coordination

  • Technical detailing

Our approach ensures that design, compliance and buildability are aligned from the outset, preventing delays later in the process.

Step 3: Application Submission & Management

Once your design is finalised, we prepare and submit all required documentation.

We:

  • Compile and submit your planning application

  • Liaise with the local authority

  • Respond to case officer queries

  • Manage amendments if required

  • Provide regular progress updates

You won’t need to chase the council; we handle everything on your behalf.

Step 4: Post-Approval & Construction Support

After securing planning approval, we continue supporting your project through:

  • Building regulations approval

  • Structural engineering integration

  • Construction coordination

Our goal is to provide a seamless transition from concept to completion.

Step 5: Ongoing Support & Communication

If you choose to instruct us, our experts manage the entire process for you.

You receive:

  • Clear timelines

  • Transparent advice

  • Regular updates

  • Direct communication with your dedicated consultant

We make the process straightforward, structured and stress-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does planning permission cost?

Planning application fees vary depending on development type and scale. Local authority fees are set nationally, but consultancy fees depend on complexity.

Can I start building without planning permission?

No. Starting works without required approval can lead to enforcement action.

What happens if planning permission is refused?

You may revise and resubmit or appeal through the Planning Inspectorate within statutory time limits.
