Why a managed extension causes fewer headaches
Written scope first
Clear stages and inclusions help you compare extension options properly.
Domestic CDM covered
We take on Principal Contractor duties unless another contractor is appointed in writing.
In-house build stages
Structural work and internal completion are kept under one planned programme.
More room without leaving the street
When the kitchen is too tight, the dining room doubles as a work zone and every spare corner has been claimed, an extension can be the sensible answer. We plan each build around the way your home already works, the space you need to gain and the plot you have to work with. In Wokingham, that can mean a rear addition for family life, a side return to improve circulation, or a larger redesign with structural work, openings, services and a full internal finish. Done properly, it adds room now and long-term value later.
What shapes the plan and the price
We start with an on-site assessment and a written scope so you can see how the job is likely to unfold, from foundations and the structural shell to the roof, windows, first fix and completion. Price depends on size, complexity, materials and site conditions, which is why detail matters. We plan work to meet the relevant legal standards and, for domestic clients, we take on Principal Contractor duties under CDM 2015 unless another contractor is appointed in writing. Other items are only included where a written turnkey quote says so.
Frequently asked questions
Do you take on Principal Contractor duties?
Yes. For domestic house extension clients, we take on Principal Contractor duties under CDM 2015 unless another contractor is appointed in writing. That means we manage site coordination and the practical safety side of the build.
What usually affects the extension price most?
Size, structural complexity, materials and site conditions tend to drive the figure. A detailed written scope matters because it shows what has been allowed for and helps you compare one option against another sensibly.
What is outside the quote unless agreed in writing?
Planning permission, Building Control, structural-engineer fees, Party Wall matters, hazardous-material removal, decorative finishes and floor coverings are only included where a written turnkey quote says they are. Required approvals remain your responsibility before work starts.
