THE LOGIC BEHIND OUR WEBSITE

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.

Here at the Home Extension Advisory Service, we use design flair backed up with 40 years of experience in the design and build industry and the latest technology to make your dreams come true, and show how good your property can look at the initial design stage!



Years ago, when houses cost £30,000 for A three-bedroom semi-detached and a rear extension cost £4,000 to build, traditionally you used a set of 2D drawings and made changes as you went along. That’s the way it was done and you would also put aside a contingency for changes you would make during the build.

We do things differently at the Home Extension Advisory Service below is an example of one of our projects and how we helped our clients visualise how their home could look when improved.

Our clients had purchased a modern three-bedroom house in Cheshire. They wanted to convert their small kitchen into an open plan kitchen with a dining area complete with bi-folding doors leading into their garden. They also wanted to explore if they could convert their loft into a home office, and shower room with additional storage space. How would it look and would it be worth their investment.

We matched their details with our database and found the perfect match. Then with a little work personalised the design making it theirs.

Our 3D visualisation service helps to bring our designs to life. Make your changes how keeping your physical building costs down

Proposed kitchen design

Many of our visitors to our website thought this was a photograph of the finished built extension. This is an actual 3D render visualisation so you can view your extension before it’s even built.

Here we have the rear extension built and the wall taken down complete with a vaulted ceiling, roof lights, and bi-folding doors leading out to the garden area.

Another 3D view showing the kitchen style and design that the clients were interested in viewing it with the aid of 3D visualisations make it so much more easier to visualise how your home could look. They found it fun and exciting

Click on the image and drag the image into the view you want. Alternatively, click on the full view icon image within the view and experience the 360-degree full-screen view. You will be amazed. Ask yourself why you would want to rely on 2D plans and drawings when you can design this way. No risk no changes everything is agreed upon before your builder starts on site.

Once our clients viewed how their loft could look once it was converted using our 3D visualisation service their decision became so much easier

extension 2d plans

Above is the typical 2D plans that most designers provide for homeowners considering loft conversions. Ask yourself does this drawing show you how your converted loft could look?

Our clients could have relied on traditional 2D plans like so many homeowners do. However, they wanted to see what their loft would look like once all the roof trusses were removed and the stairs and rear dormer construction were built. They needed to be reassured that the investment would be worth it and that the new office and shower room would meet their expectations.

Most homeowners tell us that they cannot visualise the potential of their lofts.

We help them to visualise the true potential of their loft areas and how they can be transformed into luxury habitable rooms.

A common question we are asked by clients is they can’t visualise how they would get a shower into their loft conversion. This is when 3D rendered visualisations really help.

Budget Management – making sure our design and your budget are in alignment

Throughout our design process, we are constantly checking the indicative building costs. The cost we expect builders to put forward when tendering for the works. Our database is updated weekly with building material costs and all associated costs. We make sure our information is up to date so we can give you accurate costings at all times.

Once we agree your design is the design you are confident that you want to build we will then produce your planning and buiding regulation drawingss and obtain the relevant approvals.

Budget Management

The most frequent question we are asked by potential customers….

You must charge a fortune for all of your services they look brilliant but expensive!


You would be wrong! Using the state-of-the-art technology helps to lower our fees. For example, we charge £695 for a typical set of 2D planning drawings for a rear single-story extension for a traditional 3-bedroom semi-detached property, we even submit the planning application and monitor your application.

The real truth is, when you work out where and how we make your savings when using our service range, not only can we save you our fees we can also go on to saving you £1000’s more.
