Have you been thinking about making changes to your home? Whether you’re planning to add or remove something, you’ll likely need our professional support.

A planning application can take around 8 weeks for a decision. Once you’ve got planning approval and building regulations in place, you have up to 3 years to start your project.

We cover all aspects of the process, from helping with design ideas, managing planning and building regulations applications, completing structural calculations in-house, to acting as a point of contact with your builder and building control.

We offer a free, no-obligation consultation, so you can discuss your ideas with no pressure.
Working with homeowners across the South Coast, we’re here to help turn your plans into reality.

Get in touch today on 02392 672883 or email [email protected] to start planning your next project.

With a loft conversion, the unused space in your attic can be transformed into a large comfortable bedroom, home cinema, or study to meet the needs of growing families. Compared to moving house, a loft conversion is an easier, cheaper and quicker way to gain extra room.

Replacing the existing conservatory, we designed a single-storey extension for our clients for a large open-plan kitchen with a dining area. The large skylight and bi-fold doors help create a space that feels bright and open, and perfect for family life.

A measured survey is an essential part of any building project. We carry out a full survey including the property, drainage, and surrounding area such as trees and boundaries. A reliable measured survey carried out by experts can prevent issues from arising further down the planning process.

For this project in Hampshire, the existing dormers were extended along the full width of the property to maximise the usable space on the first floor. As you can see from the before and after photos, the floor space with full head height has been expanded creating enough space for two bedrooms and a family bathroom.
