Extensions

Extensions are a great way to increase the value of your house and create extra space for you and your famly.

If you are considering an extension, we would be delighted to come and talk to you about which option would suit best, how we operate, and help you through every step of the process, from designing the space, applying for planning permission, building regulations approval, structural engineers reports, through to execution of the project. 

Step One - Design / Build Consultation

Our representatives will visit your home to discuss your requirements, options from a structural perspective, logistics, price for planning applications, cost of drawings, and also give you an approximate estimate for your project taking into account your budget, aesthetics and planning restrictions.  Whether you need planning permission for your extension will depend on whether the rules for permitted development will cover your plans.  This consultation costs £50 plus VAT.  Following the consultation you will receive a costing based on the discussion, and also details of how to proceed to the next stage, time frames, and likely costs.

Step Two - Architectural Drawings

Once you have decided on your requirements, our architect will create your drawings, which can be amended and modified prior to submission for planning approval.  We will also be able to give you a more accurate estimate  of the cost of works at this stage once the drawings are complete.  The cost of this stage varies according to the project, but will be discussed at step one.  We can also include structural engineers reports at this stage, if they are required.

Step Three - Quote for Works

Once your plans have received planning permission and building regulations approval, we will provide a comprehensive quote for the project.  Once this is agreed and a deposit paid, the works will be scheduled.  During the works you will have a dedicated project manager who will be your main point of contact throughout the works.  We will also organise and obtain local authority highways licenses for all aspects of the build (such as skips).

Step Four - Implementation

Once all the paperwork is in place, and if you decide to accept our quote and use us for your project, our team of friendly, efficient and highly skilled tradespeople will begin work on the agreed day.  During your project we will keep you fully informed through daily reports.  Barring unforeseen circumstances, we finish on time and on budget, and we will leave your home clean, tidy and ready for you to enjoy to its fullest.
