Designing Extensions That Work for Your Home

Every successful house extension starts with understanding how you want to use the space. We work with homeowners across Colchester to design extensions that improve layout, natural light, and everyday functionality. Whether you’re extending for a larger kitchen, additional living space, or extra bedrooms, we focus on practical designs that integrate seamlessly with the existing property. Our aim is to create extensions that feel like a natural part of your home, not an afterthought.

Single & Two-Storey House Extensions

We build both single and two-storey house extensions to suit a wide range of properties and requirements. Single-storey extensions are ideal for opening up ground-floor living areas, while two-storey extensions offer excellent value when creating space across multiple levels. Each project is planned carefully, with attention to structure, foundations, and finishes, ensuring the extension adds genuine long-term value to your property.

Planning, Regulations & Structural Work

House extensions often involve planning considerations and structural work that must be handled correctly. We ensure all extensions comply with current building regulations and advise on planning permission where required. Structural elements such as steel beams, foundations, and load-bearing walls are carefully managed to ensure safety and compliance. By addressing these technical aspects properly from the outset, we help avoid delays and ensure a smooth build process.

Managing the Build from Start to Finish

Good project management is key to a successful extension. We manage the entire build process, coordinating trades, materials, and schedules to keep the project running smoothly. Clear communication is maintained throughout, with regular updates so you always know what’s happening. Our organised approach helps minimise disruption and ensures your house extension is completed efficiently, safely, and to a high standard.
