Converting a garage is one of the most cost-efficient ways to add space to your home and add extra value – the value of your garage conversion may rise in line with the house price. You can use a garage conversion for practically any purpose. At Brophy Riaz & Partners Chartered Architects we will be able to discuss the options with you, provide support and assist in your decision making process. In comparison to building an extension, a garage conversion is normally a more cost-effective method of increasing the ground floor living space on your property.
Brophy Riaz & Partners Chartered Architects Ltd in Birmingham have carried out many garage conversions in Birmingham, Solihull, and throughout the Midlands on all types of property.
A garage conversion is one of the simplest projects to do in your home, using the existing structure and simply upgrading the walls, roof, and floor is usually, not only fast to build, but often, also cost-effective. Usually, doors can be placed in the hall into the converted garage area, most of our clients use this as a playroom, office, or an extra bedroom.
It is even possible to have a bedroom and ensuite in most garage conversions! Garage conversions do not usually require planning and mostly can be done under a simple building control application.
The first step in converting your garage is designing the space to suit your needs. One of our architects will collaborate with you to fully understand the available area and your long-term goals for the conversion. Using this insight, we’ll create detailed plans that outline the dimensions and features of your new space.
From access and window placement to aesthetics and functionality, we will attempt to incorporate all of your requirements. You’ll have the opportunity to review, refine, and customise the design to ensure it’s the perfect space you’ll cherish for years to come.
Brophy Riaz & Partners Chartered Architects can help unlock the potential of your home and offer full planning and building regulation application proposals and drawings, we will assist in the design and statutory application process and recommend a local builder to undertake the works that we have worked with before and would recommend, if required. Garages are seldom used for car storage, so if you currently park on your drive or in the street, do not let this asset go to waste. Garage conversion plan services range between between £995.00 + VAT to £2000.00 + VAT.

In most cases, garage conversions can be completed under permitted development rights, meaning planning permission isn’t typically required. This makes the process simpler compared to larger home renovations. However, exceptions apply if you’re creating a new dwelling, such as an annex or granny flat, or if your property is located in a conservation area, is a listed building or subject to specific planning restrictions.
No matter the specifics of your project, we’ll provide clear guidance to help you understand the planning process and maximise your chances of success. As part of our comprehensive service, we’ll handle communications with planning authorities and make any necessary adjustments, ensuring a smooth experience without adding stress to your daily life.
Building regulations play a crucial role in ensuring that any new conversion meets legal standards and achieves a high-quality finish. These regulations cover the essential details needed to secure building control approval and ensure the completed project is both compliant and up to standard.
Our building regulations service, application and subsequent building control approval, following plan checking process for garage conversions will ensure that your proposal will meet with the National minimum requirements as set out in the Building Regulations. We’ll handle the submission of the proposal providing plans to building control on your behalf, making any necessary revisions. This approach helps your chances of approval while avoiding unnecessary expenses caused by construction issues.
At Brophy Riaz & Partners, we have a wealth of experience working with garage conversion projects in Birmingham, Solihull and across the West Midlands.
