Straight answers on commercial fit-out, drylining and ceilings, from the outfit that delivers projects across Devon and the South West.
Most garden rooms in Devon can go up without a planning application, as long as they stay within a few clear limits.
A suspended ceiling is one of those decisions that gets made early in an office fit-out and is expensive to change later.
Most offices in Devon do not strictly need a suspended ceiling, but many benefit from one.
Taunton has a busy mix of Victorian shopfronts, 1960s office blocks and newer units on the edge-of-town business parks, and each type throws up its own surprises once the stripping out starts.
Most office fit-outs in Tiverton and across Mid Devon come down to one early decision: drop a suspended grid in, or board and skim the underside.
If you are planning an extension, a renovation or a garage conversion, someone will eventually ask whether you want the walls drylined or wet plastered.
If you are planning a renovation, extension or commercial fit-out, you will quickly run into two ways of finishing internal walls: drylining and traditional wet plastering.
If you are fitting out or refurbishing an office, the ceiling decision comes up early and it affects everything above your head: lighting, cabling, ventilation and future maintenance.
If you are pricing up a new office, the first number you need is a realistic cost per square metre.
If you are looking to split an open plan office into meeting rooms or private workspaces, the good news is that planning permission is rarely the hurdle people expect.
Most office fit-outs take somewhere between four and twelve weeks on site, but the honest answer depends on the size of the space, how much is being changed and how early the groundwork is done.
Working out a realistic budget for an office fit-out is tricky when quotes vary so widely.
