Builders Londonhome. A successful renovation plan will usually hide components such as plumbing or furnace ducts, but will provide access to them, should it become necessary. If the design includes adding plumbing for a new bathroom, existing concrete slabs sometimes pose a problem. If any concrete must be broken to add plumbing, be sure to include that aspect of the project in the plans. When planning the basement renovation project, it is important to be thorough and to make sure it is exactly the way you want it before work begins. Desired or necessary changes should be made on paper, not in mid-construction. Plans should include specific details about materials, fixtures, exact cost, and project completion timelines. Selecting a Contractor For convenience, the most recent versions of the Approved Documents (see also legal status) for the fourteen technical "Parts" of the Building Regulations' requirements are accessible from this page. For previous versions and related documents please navigate using the list of Parts Once you have the final detailed plans, it is time to start the selection process for a contractor. Exact duplicates of the plan should be furnished to all potential candidates to insure an accurate bid from each. Ask each candidate for licensing and insurance credentials, as well as references from projects similar to yours.
