Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission?
Whether you need planning permission for a home extension depends on various factors, including the size and type of the extension, your property's location, and any existing planning permissions.
Generally, minor home improvements may fall under "exempted development," meaning they do not require formal planning permission.
However, larger extensions or those in specific zones may need approval.
You can find more general information regarding planning here:
What are the main advantages of modular compared with block build ?
Modular construction offers several advantages when compared to traditional block built methods.
Speed of Construction:
The extension are manufactured off-site in a controlled environment concurrently with on-site foundation work, allowing for faster construction timelines.
Reduced Disruption:
The majority of construction activities occur off-site, minimizing on-site disruption, noise, and dust.
Consistent Quality:
The extensions are produced under controlled conditions, leading to consistent quality and precision. The factory setting minimizes variations that may occur in on-site construction.
Weather Independence:
Off-site construction is less affected by adverse weather conditions, ensuring consistent quality and avoiding weather-related delays.
Cost Predictability:
Costs can be more predictable due to controlled manufacturing processes, reduced construction time, and minimized on-site issues.
Environmental Benefits:
Reduced waste, improved energy efficiency in controlled environments, and optimized material usage contribute to environmental sustainability.
Concurrent Processes:
Design, fabrication, and on-site preparation can occur simultaneously, reducing overall project timelines.
Do I need permission from my neighbours ?
In principle, you can extend without an agreement from your neighbors assuming the extension is exempt from planning.
However, we always advise you to discuss your ideas with your neighbors in advance.
Does my extension include an engineers cert ?
Yes, all of our extensions include an engineers certificate.
Do I get a discount if I send you a referral ?
Yes, we do offer a referral discount.
Can I use this system for a two storey extension ?
Yes, however we currently only offer single storey extensions.
What roof types are available ?
Due to height restrictions when transporting your extension , we current only offer a flat roof option on all of our extensions.
Are there any restrictions on the overall size ?
Sizes over 30sqm may require that the extension is built in more than one unit due to limitations when transporting and will incur an additional costs.
Will I have a dedicated contact throughput the process ?
Yes, each project is assigned a dedicated project manager to assist you throughout the entire process.
Can we continue to live in our house during the installation ?
As all of our extensions are built offsite to help ensure minimal disruption to the homeowner.
If you require a full knockout there will be a minimum of 1-3 days where the back of the house will be open. However, we endeavor to have the new extension fitted and sealed within 2-3 days allowing you to regain full use of your home.
Note: If a knockout is not required, there is no reason for the homeowner to vacate the property.
Is there a lot of mess during the installation ?
The majority of construction activities occur off-site, thus minimizing any materials on-site disruption.
Are there any additional/hidden costs ?
Once you have confirmed your design and your project manager has carried out an onsite inspection we can confirm a final quotation before commencement.
However, the groundworks are the most unpredictable factor in any construction project. Although we will do our very best to identify any issues before commencement we do encourage all homeowners to have a small contingency in the budget for any unforeseen issues during this stage.
What are the payment terms ?
25% when placing your order
65% when production commences in our manufacturing facility
10% once the installation is completed
Are we insured ?
Yes we are fully insured construction company.
