Considering building a house extension, loft conversion, garden room or undertaking an interior reconfiguration can be pretty confusing. There is huge debate amongst self-builders and homeowners about how best to translate ideas for house extensions, loft conversions or other domestic projects into built form. Often this centres around whether to use an architect, a technologist or an unqualified “architectural designer”. It is argued by many that the difference is an architect will come up with ideas the technologist could not but the technologist is better at getting things built. The “architectural designer” could be a good designer or may have good construction skills but itʼs a shot in the dark and they are unregulated. Its fair to say there are good and bad in each, but an architectʼs training, spatial awareness, professionalism and adherence to codes of conduct, regulation and knowledge of construction gives them a skill set that should make them first on most peopleʼs list.
With the advent of Grand Designs and the raft of home improvement TV shows, many of todayʼs clients have a fairly developed idea of thie aspirations for their house extension and want an efficient, reliable service to translate it for them. Some may therefore think its best to go straight to a builder and tell them what they want. However this direct translation will cut out the opportunity to employ a professional designer or architect and ideas to give the optimum design will not be explored. Often this will manifest a generic design which may well be disappointing. Handing control of your house extension or loft conversion over to a builder essentially, and often contractually, means handing away the chance to input into the design for your own project.
Extend-my-house therefore offers clients a streamlined, professional, online architectural service: providing design input, professional drawings, experience with obtaining planning permission and building regulations approval as well as construction knowledge, all honed through years of experience on a variety of house extensions and loft conversion projects and carried out by chartered architects. Appointing the right person to interpet your ideas is key to success of the project, so why not explore our website and see what our qualified, insured, house extension and loft conversion experts can do for you.Learn more about our House Extension and Loft Conversion Online Design Service...
