Basic/Daft Question

[richo106]

We are in the early stages of designing our bungalow extension/conversion. We have some plans (first draft) so have a good idea of what we want to do

 

Obviously I need to expose the foundations of the existing bungalow as we plan on adding a full new floor

 

Who would I get round to check these foundations who could tell me if they are suitable for what we propose? Or what I need to do to make them suitable etc

 

Sorry for the daft question but something I need to know

 

Many Thanks

You could go straight to a structural Engineer - adding a whole new storey will require SE input anyway, or you could approach local Building Control and get an idea what they would be wanting in terms of calcs, test pits, ground analysis etc.

Maybe a basic question but not a daft question!
