PLANNING YOUR EXTENSION
Before starting your extension, you should know the planning rules and regulations. We can guide you through the process, ensuring all requirements are met and approvals are secured. From outlining your needs to drawing up the designs, we make sure no detail is overlooked. We’ll help you decide on your space's layout and materials while ensuring your extension complies with local planning guidelines. Our goal is to make the process as easy as possible.
BUILDING REGULATIONS AND STRUCTURAL CHANGES
Building regulations ensure that your extension is safe and structurally sound. If your project involves significant changes, you may need a structural engineer to provide drawings and calculations. We work closely with engineers to make sure everything meets the necessary standards and that your project gets the approval it needs. These plans will guide the house builders and architects to complete the work to the highest standard and within the required regulations.
"Dave Thomson and his team built an extension for us in 2022. It was not an easy project due to the ground sloping sharply away from the house and issues regarding access. We are very happy with the result and it has improved our home no end. Dave was able to develop and improve our ideas and make some imaginative suggestions, which we invariably took on board. He dealt with all planning and building regulations and hired in other professionals as necessary.
Several things separate Dave from our many other experiences with builders. He is very reliable, does what he says he will do and his day-to-day communication is excellent. His after sales service is unsurpassed, dealing with any snagging immediately and taking full responsibility. It may well be possible to find cheaper quotes, but anyone would struggle to find better value.
Finally, Dave has integrity and is a pleasure to deal with. I would recommend him without hesitation."
KEEPING THINGS NEIGHBOURLY
Building an extension can sometimes lead to concerns with neighbours. If your project requires planning permission, your local authority will notify them, but it’s always a good idea to discuss your plans with them in advance. We can help you manage these conversations and ensure everyone is informed. We aim to keep the process smooth and avoid any potential issues.
