Extension

House extensions come in various types, each designed to enhance your living space and meet your specific needs. Popular options include single-storey extensions, which provide additional living areas, and double-storey extensions, perfect for adding extra bedrooms or bathrooms. Other types include conservatories, which bring in natural light, and loft conversions that maximize vertical space. Choosing the right extension can significantly improve both the functionality and value of your home.

Planning to Design

1. Define Your Project

Decide the purpose, size, and budget for your extension (e.g. extra bedroom or kitchen).

2. Initial Consultation

Discuss your vision with an architect. They’ll assess feasibility and highlight any planning constraints.

3. Conceptual Design

The architect creates initial sketches and layouts based on your input. You review and refine the design.

4. Detailed Plans

The architect creates final drawings, including technical details and compliance with building regulations.

5. Planning Permission

The architect prepares and submits the planning application, including necessary documents (site plans, elevations, etc).
They manage the application process and respond to any feedback from the local planning authority.

6. Obtain Permission

If approved, you’ll receive planning permission. The architect may help adjust designs if conditions or objections arise.

7. Construction Documentation

After approval, the architect prepares construction plans and you are ready for work to commence with us.
