CDC recognise that Planning Applications can be a costly stage of a project that is often carried out at risk, especially when an Approval cannot always be guaranteed. Client’s are often asked to pay for a full engineering design before the Planning Application is made, whatever the outcome.

CDC are able to offer an advice and preliminary designs at low cost, before an Application is made. We are able to concentrate on the key elements of a project and give advice on possible solutions that are cost effective, whilst not accumulating a huge design bill during this process.

At CDC, we are recognised and respected for giving accurate preliminary advice at the Planning Stage of a project, this enables the Architect and other members of the design team to produce more accurate drawings for the Planning Application, without the risk of having to change them after a detailed engineering solution is completed. This results in a much smoother, less stressful and potentially less costly process for our clients.

It is often the case, for larger projects, that fundamental engineering decisions will need to be made before a Planning Application is made. The right solution will also take into account the most cost effective and buildable method of construction and choice of material. CDC have a vast knowledge of construction materials and techniques that enables us to confidently propose the best solution, this can be used to generate a more accurate Planning Application.
