Site Qualification

Could an AAVA work in your garden?

Every site is different. Our qualification process looks at the things that matter before you commit to a design.

It takes about five minutes. You will hear back from us with an honest read on what your site can take — including the cases where the answer is that it cannot, or that a different product is the better fit.

A clearer answer before you spend money.

Is the property a protected structure, or in a conservation area or ACA? "Not sure" is a perfectly good answer — we will check.

Your garden

Rough figures are fine at this stage.

Approximate garden width An approximate width, please. Approximate garden depth An approximate depth, please.

Approximate space available for the building Access to the rear of the property Please tell us about access. Existing extensions or structures This matters more than most people expect: previous work counts cumulatively.

I'm happy for AAVA to contact me about this enquiry. See our privacy notice.

Thank you — that's everything we need to start.

We will review your site details and come back to you with an honest assessment of what is realistic, which product fits, and what the regulatory route looks like for your property.

Your qualification is a general assessment based on the information you have provided. It does not constitute legal, planning or building-control advice, and a full site visit may be required before anything is confirmed.
