Read our top tips for planning the kitchen extension of your dreams
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.

David is, quite simply, an amazing architect. His ability to listen and synthesize ideas into a beautiful design was fantastic. David brought a truly great amount of experience and design aesthetic to our project. His designs honored both the existing home and our renovation wishes. The end result was something beautiful. Working with David was easy and his approach brought us fully into the design process. We felt like true collaborators and the resulting design was everything we could have hoped for and more. Wouldn't hesitate to work with him again and will highly recommend him to everyone.

They sent Biagio to our home and fixed the problem right away, but not only that; He was very polite and informative about keeping our pipes free of gunk. He comes across as a very knowledgeable person, but sounding natural and conversational at the same time, a rare quality. If this their trainning and professional ethic, I recommend this company 100%.

This is an excellent company to work with. They handled my garage conversion with ease. And that included preparing the necessary permits required and then taking care of the city inspections from Start to Finish. My family and I were so happy when we received our Certificate of Occupancy and were able to rent out our ADU- They worked very well with the various building inspectors and the entire project was fun and informative. I highly recommend Big Boy Construction and I give them FIVE STARS
