About Us

Every building project starts with idea. Architects and builders are the people you should talk to…

first to get your home extension ideas. Therefore, best is to call in an architect as early as possible before the project begins.

If you call us, our architect will prepare drawings, showing all aspects of existing and proposed building layouts.

Acquiring planning permission may take a few months, it will incur additional application costs and there is a great chance of refusal. With “permitted development” house extension plans are supplied to the Council and within few days, once they are approved, you can start the building works.

Home extensions cost

Every project is somewhat unique – therefore, all house extension estimates are calculated individually. The key aspects, having impact on the final bill are: the size of the extension (floor area, single or double storey), access to the back garden, type of building materials (especially finishes and equipment to be installed), structural elements (how many walls to be removed and supported by steel beams) and many other smaller details to be specified. On average, the building costs for a medium size (one storey) house extension in London is about £25000 – first fix (externally – finished, internal works include plumbing and electrical points, walls and ceilings – plastered, floor base constructed, basic UPVC windows and doors installed) – that’s about £1200 per square meter. For a double storey extension – on average £1000 per square meter.
