Alex Coleman Associates

House Extensions

Here at Alex Coleman Associates we work closely with clients from the early stages in order to gain a firm understanding of their vision and requirements. From the information gathered during early meetings, we can determine clients’ exact needs and help them cover all of the important factors that are involved in gaining planning permission and carrying out successful house extensions including advice on materials and building costs.

Construction of the housing extension is carried out by a builder of your choice. We can assist clients, however, by reviewing house extension building cost proposals to ensure they are getting good value for money and we can also offer advice on contractual terms such as start and completion dates and insurance provisions.
 

Loft Conversions

Loft conversions are popular ways of increasing room space and can simply be a case of installing a stair and a Velux roof-light. They may, however, require a great deal more input from a consulting structural engineer. When a loft conversion will affect the external fabric of an existing building, a planning application must usually be submitted. Homeowners may also need to submit an application for Building Regulations approval and be required to supply drawings for costing and construction purposes.

We offer a range of loft conversion services including: Consultation and briefing, Existing building and site survey, Outline design, Visualisations, Production of drawings, Design and Access Statement, Submission of Planning Application, Detailed design for construction, Application for Building Regulations, Building Control and more.

Refurbishments

We also provide a complete range of services for the complete or partial refurbishment of a range of buildings including derelict buildings, public houses, retail units and more. Our services include initial surveys, risk assessments, visualisation, design proposals and planning applications.

Our experience in the industry has enabled us to build great relationships with trusted partners in structural engineering, construction, interiors and landscaping which enables us to provide effective solutions for your refurbishment.

Alex Coleman Associates undertakes the refurbishment of fire, flood and storm damaged properties in accordance with existing insurance schedules.
