Extension & Alteration
UNlocked Potential
Here at CSD we believe every home has unlocked potential that can transform it from a standard common layout into something truly exceptional. A carefully considered and well-designed extension is all it can take to make a house functional, sustainable, comfortable, intriguing and unique.
At CSD, our balanced, pragmatic approach to design ensures that our extension and alteration projects deliver consistent results, while ensuring our clients are well informed of the processes, costs and timescales throughout.
Process
Building an extension can be as complex as building a new house and the process is long and costly. Typically, extensions can take as much as 18 months from concept to completion; the design period is often drawn out over several months as the Designer and Client go back and forth; the planning period can take longer than it needs to; the building warrant process can be held up by awkward details; and construction can be delayed because the client had to find extra funds at the last minute…
Here at CSD however, we strive to make the process transparent and efficient. Our inclusive process eliminates wasted time in the design process, and the utilisation of our data-based modelling will speed up the production of technical drawings, obtaining consents, budgeting and tendering, as well as making the construction process smooth.
Our use of the latest 3d technology enables our clients to experience their proposal in a 4D virtual reality, meaning you can be sure the extension you build is exactly the one you desire.
Alteration
Not all homes need an extension to unlock their potential - removing a partition, replacing a stair, opening up the Kitchen-dining area, introduction of sky lighting, widening an external door or window - there are many ways to transform your house into something special, without even laying a brick…
CSD’s client and concept focused approach will allow you to realise your property’s true potential…
