Due to the current financial climate many homeowners are choosing to extend their existing home in order to gain valuable space rather than moving up the property ladder. If planned and executed well, building a home extension can not only provide you with additional living space but can also add considerable value to your property

It is vital when planning a building extension to ensure that everything done complies with the Government’s Building Regulations. Unless the planned extension is a porch, conservatory or detached garage built at ground level and taking up less than 30m2 of floor space (always check with the Local Authority first to confirm their criteria), it is likely that Building Regulations will be relevant

It is therefore necessary to engage the services of a Structural Engineer to ensure that the relevant structural calculations and drawings are produced so the regulations can be satisfied. These drawings will also enable your builder to price and construct the project

We have considerable experience working with individuals from the initial structural feasibility study to submission of calculations and drawings and would be delighted to talk to you about your proposed building works and home extensions.
