## What a firm will ask you

- What is the project? (House extension or loft conversion / Barn or outbuilding conversion / Demolition / New build or development site / Roof works or re-roofing / Something else)
- Why do you need the survey? (The council asked for one on a planning application / Expecting it to be required, getting ahead / Bats have been seen at the property / Not sure if I need one)
- The building or structure affected (Modern building (roughly post-2000) / Older house or cottage / Barn, church or agricultural building / Trees or a mixed site / Not sure)
- When do you need the survey? (As soon as possible, planning is waiting on it / Within 1–3 months / In 3+ months / Just researching costs)

## What happens after you send it

1. Your enquiry is checked for spam and its contact details are checked so a firm can reach you.
2. Worklanded chooses up to three ecologists who carry out bat surveys that cover the area. A firm sees the job and the area before it decides to take it.
3. As your details go to each firm, we email you its name, with a link that stops any more firms receiving them.
4. The firms contact you directly. You agree the price and the work with them; Worklanded takes no part of that.
