Sneak Preview
Final photographs of the completed project will be taken in the Spring of 2020. For the moment we only have these few images. Left: 3D model view. Right: view of completed extension.
3D Computer modelling
If you commission a 3D computer model to help resolve the design, we can then bring this to your house and walk you around your new home before expensive design decisions are fixed. All our clients that have asked for this service have not then had second thoughts during construction that could have led to costly layout changes and delays to the project. The more we can finalise with you before tender, the less cost risk you have to unwanted variations, and the smoother the construction process will be for you and the contractor.

Concept and Design
