The logic behind the “Home Extension Advisory Service” is common sense good practical advice without all the technical jargon and answers to all your questions on one website for anything to do with the design and build procedures.

Building materials have in some cases doubled in price since 2020 and are still rising. This means you need to know how much your extension is likely to cost to build before you spend a penny of your hard-earned cash on plans and drawings.

As an ex-builder running my own company for over twenty-seven years and an architectural technician for the last fifteen years, I wore two hats when designing the website.

As a designer, I want you to share my Portfolio of over a thousand designs and to be able to display them to you in and then act as your budget consultant so you know how much the design cost when built and what the indicative cost would be to build in today’s market.

As an ex-builder, I want to prevent you from making costly mistakes that can easily be avoided with our advice and help you to bring your project in on time and within the budget agreed.

When you first think about having an extension built you may approach a builder who will tell you that he needs plans and drawings to price from. When you approach a plan drawer, designer, or architect they will be happy to produce drawings from an agreed design but will tell you that you need to consult a builder to obtain a realistic building price. This means if you then find out the design that you have paid to have drawn up is outside your preferred budget. The drawings are a waste of money and you have wasted a lot of time and effort.

• Answer any questions you may have so you get the most out of the FREE consultation and we tailor it to suit your needs.
• We share your ideas and explore how you wish to use this extra space.
• We discuss your design preferences and the features you would like to include.
• We then input your design brief into our bespoke software that matches this data with over a thousand designs within our design portfolio.
• Within a few seconds we can then list the top five searches for your comments, thoughts, and consideration.
• It’s important that we advise you of the indicative costs for each design and work out the actual budget you wish to invest in your property. It will frustrate you if you really like a design only to find out at the very end this would be outside the budget you have set for your project.
• When we work out any of our design costs we know the price they were built for then but we then run it through our system to update the costs so we can include for the increase in inflation and material increases.
• We designed our software to protect you are clients from unexpected surprises at whatever stage you are at in your project.

YOUR VIEWING EXPERIENCE AND HOW WE MAKE IT MORE ENJOYABLE AND INTERESTING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

• Initially we can display the matched designs in 2D plan format. Over 70% of our clients tell us that they do not really understand 2D plans and designs. They told us they expected their builder to charge them £1000’s as extras to make changes they required once they could see the physical build and could see how it actually looked.
  

Our clients were happy to see our designs in typical 2D format as shown below

• We listen to our potential clients, and we make viewing our designs more fun by converting them into 3D visualisations. This means anyone in your family can see how it will actually look when built.
