You may be thinking about doing an extension or a loft conversion,\nbut feel a bit lost \u2013 \u2018How do I start?\u2019 and \u2018Who can help with these questions\nand what should I be asking in the first place?\u2019 If these questions have been\npassing through your mind, what you may need is a friendly Architectural\nDesigner to discuss your concerns in the space you\u2019re looking to extend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Site Visit with a member of Build Team\u2019s Architectural Team is a no-obligation, free visit at your property to discuss any extension related concerns \u2013 \u201cbut what should I expect from my site visit?\u201d  This blog will aim to answer all of your questions through laying out a timeline of what to expect, and to leave you in no doubt that this is the perfect starting point!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. The site visit is held at you home, so choose a time that suits you during the week if you want a free site visit or if you\u2019re more interested in our Premium service, then choose a slot in the evening or possibly at the weekend.<\/li>
  2. Your architectural designer will arrive at the agreed time and introduce themselves.  They\u2019ll explain what you can expect from the meeting.<\/li>
  3. Your designer will ask to see the area that you are planning on extending and will ask you about your design opinions and aims for the project.  You will then discuss some potential outlines for the extension and your likes and dislikes. You will have the opportunity to see some designs we have completed in the area along with images of completed projects in the portfolio.<\/li>
  4. The Designer will need to measure the affected area and extension area for your personalised Budget Estimate. During these few minutes, please feel free to sift through the Portfolio and local examples and decide which of our projects you like \u2013 and which you don\u2019t.<\/li>
  5. Your Designer will then talk you through our Design and Build processes and what you can expect during the design phase, including the planning process and touching upon how the Party Wall Act may affect your extension works.<\/li>
  6. If you\u2019ve got any questions, or concerns; a difficult neighbour, an abhorrence to kitchen-dining spaces or a desire not to lose any light into the existing living spaces, then your Designer will be on hand to answer and will show you examples to illustrate the conversation.<\/li>
  7. At this stage, your Designer will have all the information required for Build Team to issue you a bespoke quote for the extension work. If you have any remaining questions, please do ask now \u2013 whether they are construction based or design based. We aim to leave the visit with you ready to plunge into the design with all the information at your fingertips.<\/li>
  8.  The next\nworking day, Build Team will send through your Design Quote and Budget Estimate\nfor the build to your preferred email address. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    You\u2019ll have can either have free reign over the site visit,\nor you can leave it to the designer to guide you through it.  You can use it as an opportunity to discuss\nideas or the process \u2013 whichever is of more interest to you.  If you\u2019d now like to arrange your site visit,\nthen please give the team a call on 0207 495 6561.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
