If you are considering extending your living space, building an annexe is a good option, especially if you want more space to accommodate dependants who need support but want to retain independent living or those who cannot afford to buy their own property but want to be self-sufficient.
Building an annexe is also likely to increase the value of your property.
Annexes often take the form of a self-contained living space comprising of kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room, that, although attached to the main house, has its own entrance.
Need extra space in your home?
An extension is a great way of achieving this without having to move, taking the form of a rear or side extension, either single or two-storey, a loft conversion or even multiple extensions.
Whatever your vision, there are many considerations needed when extending your home, including the size of the extension, neighbours and highways.
From the initial design concept to full project management, HPD Architects are here to help.
The cost of an extension will depend largely on the size of the extension, but you will also need to factor in the professional costs, including builders and architects, planning permission and building regulations, as well as interior fit costs such as windows, doors and floors.
Our commercial services follow the RIBA Plan of Work, where the services are broken down into eight work stages these can be customised to create a 'project specific plan' to suit your needs.
We can offer a complete service from inception to completion, acting as your lead consultant, contract administrator, employer's agent, and principal designer.
Alternatively, you can choose from a menu of services giving you flexibility on how you wish to procure your building project.
Our services are delivered using integrated IT systems, including the National Building Specification and CAD software with 3-d modelling.
