A larger intervention, resolved as one piece of architecture.
Adding space at two levels affects structure, roof, stairs, services and the character of the house. A coordinated design and construction sequence is essential.
Discuss your project
Scope
One coordinated build, with responsibilities made clear.
- Construction sequencing
- Structural frame and roof
- External envelope
- Upper-floor connections
- Services and internal finishing
Two-storey proposals commonly require a project-specific planning assessment, with neighbour impact, overlooking, massing and the existing streetscape considered by the design team.
The route
A clear path from first conversation to handover.
- 01
Brief
Tell us what needs to change and what the finished home should make possible.
- 02
Site visit
We look at access, structure, constraints and the existing fabric before shaping the scope.
- 03
Scope
The work, assumptions and next decisions are set out clearly before construction begins.
- 04
Build
A coordinated team delivers the agreed work with practical communication throughout.
- 05
Handover
We walk the finished work with you and close out the agreed project details.
Quote clarity
What shapes the project investment.
A useful quote reflects the real project conditions and finish decisions. These are the variables we establish before the work is treated as fixed.
- 01Planning and design complexity
- 02Structural support and temporary works
- 03Roof and weathering details
- 04Bathroom and service additions
Project approach
The quality is in the decisions between the drawings.
See how structure, daylight, materials and the existing home are considered as one connected build.
Common questions
Before planning two-storey extensions.
01Is a two-storey extension more efficient than separate projects?
It can be when both floors genuinely need work, because structure, envelope and site setup are coordinated once. The correct comparison depends on the design and existing home.
02Can bedrooms remain in use during construction?
Major upper-floor connections can make continued occupation impractical for part of the programme. The construction sequence should set expectations early.
03Who coordinates the structural design?
The project requires appropriately appointed design and engineering professionals. We coordinate the construction scope with the issued information.
