Here are five reasons why you definitely shouldn't wait to extend your home
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.

Olly and his team are wonderful. We engaged Olly as our builder early on in the design process for our knockdown-rebuild project to assist us with budgeting through the design process, and it was a life saver!! He took us through every step of the process with kindness, professionalism and a level of knowledge that surpassed our expectations. His team and trusted trades were respectful, kind and the quality of work was to a standard that was above and beyond that we ever expected. To add to that; He is a kind and considerate person and genuinely wants the best outcome for his clients. We could not imagine building with anyone else and to say that we still have a great friendship post-build tells you everything you need to know as well as very very happy neighbours.

I have the pleasure of writing a review for MS Studio (Regina Soeryanto), which worked with me on several residential architectural projects. Regina is a diligent, knowledgeable, and highly organized professional. She is pleasant to deal with and completes assigned work within the agreed timeframe. I found her work to be of a high standard, and I highly recommend MS Studio for architectural work. Stephen Moore. Architect
