What happens at the survey?
Every aluminium shopfronts quote for Cambridge lists each element separately, so you can see what the layout, joinery, services and finishes each cost.

In England, fit-out work that affects fire escape, structure, drainage or accessibility falls under the Building Regulations and is signed off by local authority or approved inspector building control. Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
