anna Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hi We have just received an approval for 2 storey extension of our house. One of the council's conditions is to provide them the name of block and beam supplier. Why???? But, Any recommendations please. We live in West Midlands, Birmingham. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Is the name of the supplier the condition, or that they approve the supplier..??! if it's the latter it's nothing to do with planning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Planning conditions usually state why they have been imposed so check your grant. However it would be very unusual for there to be a Planning Condition that only asks for the name of a supplier. I think that would probably be an unenforceable anyway. What is the exact wording of the condition? If you run into any problems getting a supplier approved come back for advice. Might be easy to get the condition lifted if there is one. It's more likely that Building Control want the details and they may also want to see the beam sizes justified. Can all be done by the Beam and Block supplier if you send them a drawing.

anna Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) That's from notice of conditional approval from Building Consultancy: 4. REGULATION 14 PART A Structural details and calculations for the reinforced concrete have not been deposited (For guidance see paragraph 1.5, Section 1 of Approved Document A1/2). - Beam & Block floor That's from email from my architect: I have received the conditional approval from the council. The outstanding conditions, which I will clear this week, are as follows. Beam and block floor details are required. You will need to send these in when your builder has chosen a supplier for them We provided structural calculations too.

PeterW Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 That's building regs approval not planning. Get the manufacturer to provide their calculations for the design and that will be fine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vijay Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hi, Can highly recommend a company called Floorspan based in Wisbech. I've been dealing with a guy called Adam who has been very very helpful and unless things go really pear shaped, they'll definitely be getting my business 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anna Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Thank you Vijay. They replied to me today. Unfortunately on this occasion we must decline to tender. The distance from our casting facility in Cambridgeshire to the site makes it hard for us to be competitive, and also presents us with logistical issues when it comes to managing and executing delivery. Waiting for other quotes to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vijay Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 What a shame, they'll deliver to E. Midlands no probs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anna Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 It was Carole who responded to me. Maybe I would try Adam. If you please could send me his email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Some 10+ years ago i think our cheapest quote came from Milbank Floors/Milbank concrete products. However they were a long way from us and after transport costs a nearer supplier was a bit cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassanclan Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Lite Cast is in Nuneaton, which is 25 miles to Birmingham, so they should be more interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anna Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Hi. We used Total Concrete eventually. Lite Cast were a bit cheaper but waiting time was longer and we needed it fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
