What to Expect During a Home Extension Project

A home extension is an exciting way to add space and value to your property, but knowing what to expect can help you prepare for the journey ahead.

1. Planning & Design Stage

The process begins with consultation and design, ensuring your extension meets your needs and complies with planning regulations.

2. Planning Permission & Approvals

Some extensions fall under permitted development, but larger projects may require planning permission, which takes several weeks to secure.

3. Budgeting & Costs

Work with your builder to establish a budget that covers materials, labour, and unexpected expenses.

4. Construction Phase

Once groundwork is completed, structural work, roofing, and interior installations take place. This stage can take several weeks to months, depending on project size.

5. Finishing Touches & Completion

After construction, interior decorating and snagging checks ensure everything is finished to a high standard before moving back in.
