Why one team

Priced as it is drawn

Every line on the drawing has a cost beside it, so the design never outruns the budget.

One person to call

Your site manager is on your job only, and answers the phone.

A date we keep

The handover date is in the contract, with a daily credit to you if we miss it.

What the design stage costs

The design fee is fixed, and it comes off the price when we build what we drew.

Before you ask

Do I need planning permission?

Often not. Many rear extensions and loft rooms fall under permitted development. We check at the first visit and tell you in writing.

How long does an extension take?

A single-storey rear extension takes about fourteen weeks on site. The design and permissions before it take eight to twelve.

Can we live in the house during the work?

Nearly always. We seal the work off, keep one bathroom and a temporary kitchen running, and tidy the site every evening.

What does the fixed price leave out?

Only what nobody can see before work starts, such as unrecorded drains. We name the allowance for these in the contract.

Do you work outside Leeds?

Within about an hour: Harrogate, Ilkley, Wetherby, York and the towns between.
