Advisory Support for Planning Applicants & Planning Agents
Independent roofing expertise brought into the pre-construction stage — after planning approval, before contractor commitment.
Why Roofing Decisions Cause Post-Approval Issues . . .
Planning approval does not guarantee that a roof can be delivered as approved. Many post-approval delays, refusals, and enforcement issues arise because roofing decisions are made after approval, or by contractors who cannot build what has been consented.
Roofs are often approved conditionally or at outline detail
Contractor capability is rarely tested at planning stage
Substitutions and reinterpretations occur after approval
Issues are discovered too late — during construction or inspection
What Apointum Provides
We close the gap between planning approval and construction reality.
Our mission is to provide independent advisory support to planning applicants and agents, helping ensure post-approval roofing decisions are compliant, buildable, and aligned with the approved design.
We focus on practical clarity, so what gets approved can actually be built.
Support in selecting the right roofing contractor for a planning-approved project
Independent advice to confirm contractor capability against the approved design, specification, and planning conditions
Early identification of risks that commonly lead to delays, refusals, or build issues
Specialist roofing expertise introduced at the pre-construction stage
We do not sell roofing works. Our role is to ensure the chosen contractor can deliver what was approved.

What makes us different
-
Apointum operates independently when assessing risk, compliance, and suitability. All reviews are carried out before any contractor recommendation is made, ensuring advice is objective and based on the approved design and planning requirements.
-
Guidance is grounded in the planning approval, associated conditions, and the technical demands of the approved roof design. The priority is ensuring that any solution — and any contractor — can deliver what has been consented.
-
Apointum’s primary role is advisory. Where a project requires it, we can then introduce suitable contractors from our pre-qualified pool who are capable of delivering the approved works.
-
Contractors are not promoted speculatively. Introductions are made only where capability, experience, and suitability align with the specific planning-approved design and project requirements.
-
Whether advisory only or progressing to contractor introduction, Apointum’s involvement occurs before construction begins — when risks can still be managed, decisions corrected, and outcomes protected.
Apointum’s model is structured to separate independent assessment from contractor introduction. By first identifying compliance and delivery risks, and only then aligning projects with pre-qualified contractors where appropriate, we protect planning approvals while providing a clear route to competent delivery.
