Your Period & Listed Building Home Extension in 3 Seamless Steps

1

Consultation

We begin with an on-site consultation (once architectural drawings are in place), discussing your vision, the building’s condition, and regulatory needs. We conduct site investigations, material testing, and offer guidance on how to proceed compliantly.

2

Planning Your Extension

Once drawings are approved and permissions secured, we begin planning your period and listed building home extension, including sourcing period-appropriate materials, developing a timeline, and preparing for construction in alignment with heritage regs.

Specialist Construction

We carry out the construction with sensitivity to the existing building, ensuring structural soundness, visual continuity, and full compliance. We manage every aspect of the build, including liaising with building control and heritage officers throughout.
