1.    They do not find out whether or not the need planning permission.

It is not difficult to find out from your local council or planning authority if you need planning permission for the conservatory that you are planning to purchase and erect on your property.  Either phone up or write to them, giving them an idea of ehat you are propsosing and requesting that they reply to you in writing.  In this way you will be able to proceed with an easy mind if they give you the green light.

2.    They go for the lowest quote they receive.

This may not always be a mistake, but it very often is.  If you get a low quote for building a conservatory, make sure that the builder is providing the same level of detail in his quote as the other builders.  Also be sure that the materials being used are of good quality and up to standard.

3.    They work off external measurements when considering floor space.

This is an easy mistake to make. When a manufacturer is talking up his product, he will quote external measurements.  However, if you are trying to work out how much room you are going to have in the new conservatory, you should be working from internal measurements which will be considerably smaller, especially if you are building dwarf walls at the base of the conservatory.
