What Types of Construction Work Come from Hampshire Planning Applications?
We surface domestic projects at the earliest possible stage. These are typical job types builders and contractors receive via BuildAlert:
Extensions (Side, Rear, Wraparound)
From open-plan kitchen diners to multi-room upgrades — the most common type of builder job from planning filings.
Loft Conversions & Dormers
Ideal for homes in dense towns like Eastleigh or Fareham — often requiring full structural work, insulation, and re-roofing.
Garage & Barn Conversions
Converting underused buildings into livable spaces — great for builders, electricians, and plasterers.
Garden Buildings & Annexes
Detached outbuildings, offices, and lodges — growing fast in semi-rural Hampshire areas.
New Builds
Self-builds, backland development, and small residential schemes — full jobs from groundwork to finish.
Change of Use Projects
Commercial-to-residential conversions — barns, shops, and garages turned into homes.
Roof Alterations & Structural Work
Flat-to-pitch conversions, Velux and dormer installations, plus chimney removals and more.
Listed Building Renovations
Common in Winchester and Romsey — ideal for heritage-specialist builders and joiners.
These planning applications often mark the very start of a construction project — and BuildAlert lets you act first.
