Layout Ideas Pack limitations

Layout Ideas Packs are illustrative concept layouts prepared from information supplied by the customer. They are not a measured survey, structural assessment, planning opinion, Building Regulations drawing, construction drawing, cost quotation or guarantee that any works can be carried out. All alterations remain subject to accurate survey, structural review, planning and Building Regulations requirements, title restrictions and other relevant consents.

For homebuyers, the service is not a building survey, valuation, mortgage advice or property due-diligence service.

3. Pricing and payment

5. Intellectual property

All floor plans, drawings, and design documents produced by PlanBuildCo remain our intellectual property until full payment is received. Upon payment, you receive a non-exclusive licence to use the deliverables for the purpose of your building project.

You may share deliverables with builders, planners, and other professionals involved in your project. You may not resell, redistribute, or use deliverables for commercial purposes beyond your own building project.

6. Builder introductions and referrals

Where we introduce you to builders from our vetted partner network, we may receive a referral fee or commission from the builder. This arrangement is fully disclosed:

• Builder introductions are provided as a convenience — you are not obligated to use any builder we recommend
• Any referral fees paid to us by builders do not affect the price you pay
• All build contracts are between you (the homeowner) and the builder directly
• PlanBuildCo is not a party to any building contract and does not accept liability for building work

7. Cancellation and refunds

• Before delivery: You may cancel at any time before we deliver your plans and receive a full refund
• After delivery: As our services are bespoke and delivered digitally, the 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply once delivery has begun with your consent
• Planning applications: If a planning application is refused, we do not offer refunds for the application preparation. Local authority fees are non-refundable regardless of outcome
• Dissatisfaction: If you are unhappy with the quality of work delivered, please contact us within 14 days. We will work with you to resolve any issues or offer a partial refund at our discretion

8. Limitation of liability

• PlanBuildCo provides design and planning services only. We do not provide structural engineering advice (this is subcontracted to qualified engineers) or building work
• Our liability is limited to the value of the services purchased
• We are not liable for delays caused by third parties (including local planning authorities, structural engineers, or builders)
• We are not liable for the outcome of planning applications, which are determined by the local authority
• We are not liable for building work carried out by third-party builders, even where introduced through our network

9. Material supply

Where we supply materials as part of a build coordination package, materials are ordered from suppliers on your behalf using our trade accounts. You pay for materials upfront before they are ordered. Delivery confirmation is recorded with photographic evidence and your signature or your builder's signature upon receipt.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
