Before planning work in Dundee

Planning permission, a building warrant and listed-building consent are separate checks. Cosmetic decoration and changes to structure or services have different requirements. Ask the local verifier about the exact proposal and obtain a required warrant before work starts. Use Scottish building-warrant guidance.

Send the proposed scope to Dundee Building Standards. For a flat, establish title conditions, common ownership, factor arrangements and any landlord consent before touching shared structure or services.

The Party Wall Act process described for England and Wales does not apply in Scotland. Obtain advice on the Scottish ownership and neighbour issues relevant to your property.

Prepare the property scope

  • Mark the walls, windows, roof and shared services affected on a measured plan.
  • List what must stay, what is only decoration and what needs a survey or technical design.
  • Ask which approvals, inspections and professional fees the quote includes.

Guidance checked 8 October 2026. This is a preparation checklist, not legal or technical advice. Confirm the address and scope with the relevant authority and your professional advisers.

Use the current UK renovation cost model for initial allowances; survey findings, approvals, access and trade quotes remain separate. No local price or value uplift is implied.

Start a measured project brief in the Studio. Keep required approvals and unresolved survey questions alongside your visual concept.
