Refurbishments and Extensions

A new building is not always the answer. Reconfiguring an existing setting, extending into unused space, or refurbishing a tired building is often faster, cheaper and easier to get consent for, especially on a tight site or under a lease that restricts what you can do.

We start with what you already have and what the lease allows, then cost the options side by side so you can see the difference before committing to either. At Orpington that meant a lightweight steel frame extension to provide additional space on a tight site.

Our building surveying team is experienced in extending, modifying and upgrading all types of construction. Working alongside our asset management team, we advise on planning requirements, provide initial feasibility cost appraisals and viability assessments, and advise on permissions, licences for alteration and related consents.

Engaging an independent consultancy means you reach an informed position without having to approach contractors or enter a tender process first. You get unbiased advice and a best value solution, and we take you from design through statutory approvals to delivery, with independent professional oversight, the correct contract protection and the necessary approvals in place throughout.
