Pre-Construction Consultancy

Before any ground is broken, the decisions made at the pre-construction stage determine whether a drainage project runs smoothly or runs into problems. Our Pre-Construction Consultancy service gives Lancashire property owners, developers and self-builders direct access to expert advice at the point where it matters most.

We cover the full range of drainage and wastewater considerations relevant to new builds, extensions, conversions and system replacements. That includes assessing site suitability for a septic tank or sewage treatment plant, reviewing percolation test results, advising on drainage field design, and identifying whether an EA Discharge Permit or General Binding Rules compliance route is appropriate for your site.

If you're dealing with a planning application, we can advise on what supporting documentation your drainage proposals will need — and flag potential objections before they become delays. If you're working with an architect or developer, we can review their drainage designs and give an independent technical view.

Consultancy is charged hourly and booked directly with our pre-construction specialist. There's no obligation to proceed with any build works through us — many clients simply want a solid technical foundation before they commit to a contractor or submit to planning.
