What Kind of Construction Jobs Come from Planning Applications?

BuildAlert scans planning applications that lead to real, local construction and building work across Somerset. These are some of the most common types of projects tradespeople win through the platform:

Single & Double-Storey Extensions

Popular for open-plan kitchens, rear extensions, or family room upgrades.

Loft Conversions & Dormers

Additions for bedrooms, offices, or playrooms — often involving structural and roofing work.

Outbuildings & Garden Rooms

Garden offices, studios, and insulated outbuildings — great for electricians, heating engineers, and floor layers.

Garage Conversions

Converting garages into habitable space, requiring everything from structural work to rewiring.

New Builds

From groundwork to roofing — self-build homes and multi-plot developments.

Annexes

Separate living spaces for relatives or rental — involving full-service trades like plumbing and heating.

Change of Use Projects

Repurposing garages, shops, or outbuildings into residential spaces, often needing significant interior work.

Roof Replacements & Alterations

Re-roofs, dormers, pitched-to-flat conversions, or roof light installations.
