The cost of building an extension is determined by a number of factors, including size, specification, and your location. You may be planning a basement conversion, a single storey extension, a downstairs toilet extension, or an extension over your garage. Whatever you have in mind, our experts will take a detailed brief in order to provide an accurate quote for the work.
In many cases, you can extend your home under Permitted Development (PD). For example, under PD you can extend a detached property by 8m to the rear, if it’s a single-storey extension, or by 3m if it’s double. Check with your local council and your extension specialist before you get too far into the planning stages, because your project may not meet all the criteria for PD.
Most insurers won’t cover any loss or damage incurred while a property is undergoing alteration or renovation. If you’re carrying out extension works and managing the project yourself, it’s worth discussing your project with an insurance provider, before any work begins. You may need to arrange a specific extension policy to cover the new works and the existing structure. It’s also worth enquiring about a 10-year structural warranty, as this can be provided on some new extension works.

The hard working crew worked in the rain and I am very happy with the results. James and Wendy were always responsive and followed up requests. They installed eavestroughs, soffit cladding, leaf filters, and PVC siding. And re-did a small roof and repaired a really annoying old flashing that would make ghostly sounds when ever the wind blew at night. I would use them again in future.

Lexicon Design Build Corp's Ram Sharma and his team did an amazing job of adding an extension to our home. There were a few delays but mainly due to weather conditions. Otherwise, the work was done in the time frame promised. He prepared drawings and followed up with the city for the building permit. The construction and inspections were done on time. He communicated with us in selecting material and figures throughout the project. We are very pleased with the quality of workmanship and the material used in construction. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to carry out construction of any kind.
