House Extensions

House extensions are an excellent way to make the most of your property and to create a space that truly reflects your home. Whether you need additional rooms or simply want to open up the space you already have, we can help maximise your vision.

Extending your home not only allows you to expand your living space but it can also increase the value of your property. More and more people are recognising the benefits of house extensions, but many are discouraged by the fear of failure or expense. Therefore, our practice combines experienced designers with an expert service to deliver high quality house extension plans for our clients.

Here at Detailed Planning, we work closely with our clients to explain the process from start to finish whilst creating a design that will ensure a successful house extension that can be enjoyed for years to come. We will combine your brief with our expertise to design an extension that is individual to you.

Would definitely recommend for any detailed drawings required, we got them in late in the day to provide building regs drawings, were really efficient in completing within the required timescales and went into a lot of detail to make sure everything was right.

Why Choose Us For Your House Extension Project?

Understanding Your Project Goals

When we begin, we'll take time to understand your brief, you may also have ideas of how the your house extension will look. We'll take this into consideration but also consider costs, planning constraints and build ability. There's no point designing something that can't be built!

Striving to Create Quality Spaces

Our number one goal is to create spaces that meet requirements and go beyond the expectations of our clients. We love to hear that our clients are enjoying their new extension and this gives us the energy to go on.

Believe In Quality Design for Everyone

Good design should not be limited to some Architects only. We are here to provide excellent architectural environments to all, at a more realistic cost compared with some architect fees.

Pushing Technical Detail

Every house extension project is unique and ensuring it is buildable should be considered from the outset. Should we provide technical drawings, we’ll make sure risks on site are reduced by considering all parts of your project. This should lead to overall cost savings and minimised delays.

High Planning Success Rate

We never take on a project where the principle of the development seems unlikely to be approved. During the design, we’ll use our knowledge and check planning policies to give your application the best chance of success. We have worked with many authorities and understand how planning applications are decided.

Flexible Design Approach

We are not fixed to one design style; therefore we can be used for realist house extension design to ultra contemporary. We will listen to your brief and design a bespoke extension meeting your needs.
