I am thinking of having a single storey detached garage built either using brick or block & render. Just to give me some ideas before getting quotes is there a general rule of thumb for the depth and width of the foundations, I appreciate different ground types.
Does the builder giving the quote decide from local knowledge the correct depth / width and is this then passed to the Building Control people or does the Building Control decide on the sizes?
I understand about getting planning permission but not sure where the Building Control come into the picture. Do you submit seperate plans to BC once permission is granted? I would like to produce the plans myself along with the builder to try and save some money.
Does anyone see any problems with this.
