## What a firm will ask you

- What do you need? (An eligibility check on the building / Preparing and submitting prior approval / A structural appraisal of the barn / Full planning permission instead / Appealing a refusal)
- How many homes are you hoping for? (1 / 2 to 3 / 4 to 10 / Not decided)
- When do you need this? (As soon as possible / Within a month / In 1 to 3 months / Later than 3 months / Just getting prices for now)

## 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 planning and heritage consultants 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.
