A new beginning, a considered renovation or room for a changing household. The starting point is different for every home; the care belongs in every project.
Describe your project
A chance to bring the site, the plan and the way you live into one conversation. Begin with a clear brief, a realistic working budget and an understanding of the land.
Early building input can explore access, likely construction methods and the details that deserve more attention before drawings are finalised.
Keep the parts of a home that already work, and be precise about what needs to change. Better connections, useful storage and well-placed openings can matter more than adding floor area.
Existing conditions deserve careful investigation. The first brief should distinguish necessary repairs from the changes that would simply make life better.
New space should belong to the whole home. Consider how it connects to existing rooms, the garden and daily movement through the house.
A good extension brief describes what the household needs to do, not just how many rooms to add. The relationship between old and new is a design decision worth making deliberately.
Working together
A residential project brings different responsibilities together. Design, engineering, approvals, construction and landscape work need a clear scope and a named owner at each stage.
If you already have an architect or building designer, include their drawings and the stage the project has reached.
List what the proposed works include, what they exclude and which questions still need investigation.
Document selections, allowances and responsibilities before comparing prices or planning a start.
