1.

Design & Discussion

The first step in designing and building your house extension is an initial consultation. During this meeting, we take the time to understand your specific needs, lifestyle, and vision for the space. Whether you’re seeking extra bedrooms, a larger kitchen, or a dedicated home office, we work closely with you to identify your goals. This phase involves discussing your budget, preferences, and any unique requirements you may have.

Once we have a clear understanding of your needs, we begin developing an initial design concept. Our team of architects and designers will create a layout that maximises the space available while ensuring it is functional, practical, and stylish.

2.

Planning & Permissions

Depending on the size and scope of the project, planning permission may be required, or your extension may fall under permitted development rights. Our team will work with local authorities to submit applications and manage the approval process, so you don’t have to worry about any red tape. We ensure that every detail, from structural integrity to design aesthetics, meets regulatory requirements.

Once we receive the necessary approvals, we finalise the construction plans and prepare the site. This includes any additional surveys or assessments needed, such as soil testing or structural analysis, ensuring everything is in place for the build to begin.

Construction & Building

Once planning permission is secured, construction begins. Our experienced team of builders, contractors, and tradespeople will carry out the work efficiently, ensuring your extension is built to the highest standards. During this stage, the existing structure will be prepared for the extension, and the groundwork will be laid, including foundations, drainage, and any necessary groundwork.

Throughout the construction process, we ensure that the project stays on schedule and within budget. Regular site visits and updates keep you informed on the progress, and we address any questions or concerns you may have along the way. We are committed to maintaining a clean, safe work environment, minimising disruption to your daily life as much as possible.

Final Touches

Once the main construction work is complete, our team focuses on the interior finishes, such as painting, flooring, lighting, and cabinetry. We ensure that all installations, from plumbing to electrical work, meet the highest standards, and detail is perfected. During this phase, we also conduct thorough inspections to check the quality and integrity of the work.

Once everything is complete, we schedule a final walkthrough with you to ensure you are fully satisfied with the result. We’ll go through every element of the extension, from structural features to cosmetic touches, addressing any final adjustments you may require. After the handover, we provide you with any necessary documentation, including warranties for materials and appliances, so you can enjoy your new space with peace of mind.

How long does it take to complete a house extension?

The timeline for a house extension depends on the size and complexity of the project. On average, a house extension can take anywhere from 8 weeks to several months to complete. After an initial consultation and design phase, we will provide a detailed timeline specific to your project, ensuring we keep you informed and on track throughout the process.

Do I need planning permission for a house extension?

In many cases, house extensions can fall under permitted development rights, which don’t require full planning permission. However, if your extension exceeds certain size limits or involves significant alterations to the property, planning permission may be necessary. At Godman Developments, we handle the planning application process for you, ensuring compliance with all local regulations and building codes.

Can I live in my home while the extension is being built?

Yes, in most cases, you can continue living in your home during the construction of your extension. We strive to minimize disruption to your daily life, but depending on the scope of the project, some temporary adjustments may be necessary. Our team works efficiently to complete the extension with minimal impact on your comfort.

Will my house extension increase the value of my home?

Yes, a well-designed and well-built house extension can significantly increase your home’s value. Adding more living space and enhancing the functionality of your home makes it more attractive to potential buyers. The return on investment varies depending on the quality of the extension and local market conditions, but it is generally a smart investment.

What is included in the cost of a house extension?

The cost of a house extension includes the design, planning permissions, construction work, materials, and finishing touches. We provide a detailed quote at the beginning of the project, covering all aspects of the build, including plumbing, electrical work, and any structural changes. Our goal is to ensure transparency and avoid hidden fees, so you know exactly what to expect throughout the process.
