How
it works.
Phone
us to arrange a free initial visit to your property to check suitability
of your site and to ascertain your needs. (Consider our section
Factors and Decisions below.)
Think about where you might like key items in your kitchen , eg.
sink and cooker, before our visit.
Photos and measurements will be taken on this visit to help us provide
you with a quote.
We will need a second visit for the Builder to see your site.
Quotation for extension build, and basic lay-out based on visits,
sent to you.
On your acceptance of quotation the first payment will be required.
Detailed survey and discussion with you to enable final drawings
to be made.
Your signed agreement of detailed build specification and design.
Planning Application if required sent to the Local Authority.
On receipt of succesful planning application party wall matters
will commence.
When party wall award is in place construction will start on a mutually
agreed date.
A
further 4 payments
to be made in stages during the project.

and decisions that will impact on your final design.

Satisfactory
completion.
The
very end of the project can be a frustrating time. Building work
will always require a “snagging stage”. We will project
manage the build through this “snagging stage” to make
sure that the work is successfully finished.
Depending on our involvement with your kitchen, appliances and garden,
we can offer the same attention to detail in these areas too.
What
it costs.
A
basic guide cost for a sidespace extension is around
£80,000
plus VAT. This will vary according to the size and suitability of
your existing space. This would give you a finished space all inclusive
to our specification but without your choice of flooring, kitchen
cabinets, worktops , appliances and installation of these. We can
help you with your choice of units and appliances etc. to achieve
your look in a cost effective way using standard, mid or high end
products.
You may be happy with your existing garden and we would make sure
that it is conserved as much as possible, or you may like to have
it redesigned to complete the feel. Whichever way, we can help you
to reach your goal within your budget.
Prices are illustrative only, and nothing on this site in any way
constitutes a contract.
