The Bingley brief
For a property in Bingley, Cottingley, Eldwick or Harden, a level survey helps distinguish the appearance of the garden from the work needed to build on it. An addition may affect retaining structures, access and drainage beyond its own walls. Include those relationships in the first brief.
Preparation guidance, not a survey of your property. The location photograph shows the area; it is not evidence of work by ATR.
BD16 / 01
Show the plot in section
Bring to the conversationA measured section through the proposed footprint and adjoining ground.
Why this matters
Record the house floor, garden and adjacent ground levels. Ask whether the design depends on cutting into a slope or retaining ground, and identify the investigation needed before those elements are priced.
BD16 / 02
Keep water routes outside the new room
Bring to the conversationDrain locations, property reports and photographs of water routes.
Why this matters
Locate existing drainage and record any known water movement across the plot. Consult area flood information where relevant and ask the designer to distinguish surface drainage from a wider flood assessment.
The address matters
