Our Process

We handle all facets of a project, from design, planning, and compliance with building regulations to overseeing construction and guaranteeing the quality of work.

Our in-house designers collaborate closely with you and your consultant to craft the best possible plan within local planning guidelines.

Our supervisors, conduct site visits 2-3 times a week during the build to ensure work progresses according to the schedule. We certify each weekly stage payment, ensuring you pay only for completed work.

Additionally, the building inspector periodically attends the site to verify compliance with building regulations.

Typically, our house extensions require around 8-10 weeks for completion, dependent on the project’s size, complexity, and specifications.

FAQ

House Extensions

Do I need planning permission to build my home extension?

The need for planning permission for a home extension depends on various factors, including the size, location, and specific circumstances of your property. Some home extensions might fall under permitted development rights. This means they can be built without the need for planning permission as long as they meet certain criteria regarding size, placement, and other restrictions. We will explain this to you in detail and arrange all local authority permissions that are specific to your project.

How long does it take to get permission for my home extension?

On average, for standard applications, the timeframe to obtain planning permission for a home extension can range from a few weeks to several months. If your project qualifies as permitted development, you might not need formal planning permission, and the assessment can be quicker.

How long will my extension take?

The construction phase itself can vary depending on the scope of work, the materials used, the number of workers involved, and the weather conditions. On average, a house extension might take several months to complete. For example:

A single-story extension might take around 3 to 6 months.
Double-story extensions or more complex projects could take 6 months to a year or longer.
