From survey to sign-off in Alloa
Look and measure
We check the wall, the span you want and what the wall is carrying, and photograph anything the engineer needs to see.
Design and price
Calculations come back from the engineer and we confirm your fixed written price, line by line.
Building warrant
A building warrant is applied for from Clackmannanshire Council, and work starts only once the warrant has been granted.
Fit, inspect, finish
The work is propped and the steel installed and packed tight. After inspection the opening is boxed, plastered and left clean.

Building rules in Alloa
In Scotland, structural alterations need a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Act 2003, and work must not start until the warrant is granted. For Alloa, warrants are handled by Clackmannanshire Council's building standards service. When the work is finished, a completion certificate is submitted and has to be accepted by the council.
Scotland has no Party Wall Act. Work affecting a shared wall is governed by your title deeds and the general law, and in flats by the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, so it is sensible to agree the work with neighbours in writing before starting.
