Home Expansions, Conversions & Extensions

Home re-modelling and extensions

Imagine designing and building a beautiful home extension with a spacious, bright and airy living space.

Your first steps should be to consider what you want to change about your property. This will form a good brief for your house extension project. At this stage it’s best not to focus too much on the specific ideas you think you want to pursue. It is better to say you need another bedroom and a bigger kitchen, rather than you want to extend the ground floor, on the right hand side, next to the current kitchen. When you can clearly state what you want your extension to give you, an architect can provide the professional advice you need to make it happen.

Our service is for you if you want to unlock the potential of your property or significantly increase the size of your home.
