Being able to walk/look around proposed projects with clients is a totally different experience in comparison to just looking at flat 2d floor plans and elevations, through the use of a VR headset or even just displayed on an I-pad where you can ‘look around’ makes a huge difference.

With all building work, the owner of the property (or land) in question is ultimately responsible for complying with the relevant planning rules and building regulations (regardless of the need to apply for planning permission and/or building regulations approval or not).

The general advice is to always discuss your proposals with the relevant local planning authority and building control service before starting work.
