House extensions are a great way of gaining extra space in your home and are generally a more affordable and less disruptive alternative to moving.
The main consideration when planning your house extension project is the local planning guidelines. These can vary significantly between different London boroughs. Other considerations will be the type of property you live in, your budget for the project and what you want to achieve from the space.
We normally handle all aspects of a project, from design, planning and building regulations to overseeing the construction and guaranteeing the work. We have in-house designers who work closely with yourself and your consultant to achieve the optimum scheme possible within the local planning guidelines.
Palm ECC manager and your consultant will be visiting your site 2-3 times a week during the build, ensuring that work is progressing in accordance with the works schedule. Our team will then certify each of your weekly stage payments ensuring that you are only ever paying for works already completed on site. The building inspector will also be attending the site periodically throughout the build to ensure that all aspects of the work are being carried out in accordance with building regulations.
Most of our house extensions take approximately 10 – 20 weeks to complete, depending on the size, scope and specification of the project. For more information about timings please see our Process page.
We work closely with a number of interior designers, kitchen and bathroom suppliers, door and glazing suppliers, and flooring companies and the trade discounts we enjoy are passed on directly to our clients. We will also help you to coordinate your kitchen installation with the construction works. We always pass on any trade discounts we receive directly to our clients no matter what the product.
