How Much Do Double Storey Extension Plans Cost?
Double storey extension plans typically cost between £1,000 and £2,500. This price range can vary based on factors such as project size, complexity, and the specific requirements of the design.
Larger extensions might require detailed structural assessments, while more complex designs may need unique architectural features. Elements like site surveys, planning stages, and architectural specifications also influence the costs, accounting for the measurement of load-bearing walls and integration with existing structures.
Additionally, compliance with local building regulations and standards, such as those set by the National House Building Council (NHBC), can affect the pricing. Our team uses the latest CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software to visualise the extension plans, incorporating energy efficiency measures where possible.

What Types of Double Storey Extensions Are Available?
We offer several types of double storey extensions to cater to diverse property needs:
Side Extensions: Perfect for properties with space on the sides, enhancing the building's footprint without extending into the rear garden.
Rear Extensions: Ideal for homes with large backyards, creating more internal space while maintaining outdoor areas.
Wrap-around Extensions: Combine side and rear extensions to maximise the available area and versatility of the home layout.
Our experts guide you in selecting the right type for your property, ensuring compatibility and compliance with local regulations.
Do I Need Planning Permission for a Double Storey Extension?
Planning permission is often required for double storey extensions. Factors such as extension size, proximity to neighbours, and design specifics determine this necessity.
For instance, extensions that exceed certain limits on height or encroach upon site boundaries typically require permission. We assist in navigating the planning process, ensuring all aspects comply with local authority regulations and adhere to building codes like the National Planning Policy Framework.
Our experienced team handles applications and liaises with officials to secure approvals efficiently. We also conduct site assessments to address any potential issues related to conservation areas or listed buildings.
Using tools like CAD software, we ensure the proposed designs meet visual impact requirements. Contact us to learn more about planning permissions and how we can assist in streamlining your project.
How Long Does It Take to Complete a Double Storey Extension?
Completing a double storey extension typically takes three to six months. The timeline starts with the planning phase, which often takes four to six weeks and includes drafting detailed architectural plans and consultation.
Obtaining necessary permissions such as planning permission and building regulations approval from local authorities can add another eight to twelve weeks. During the construction phase, structural elements like foundations and beams are installed, followed by brickwork and roofing, which can take several weeks.
Interior work such as insulation, plumbing, and electrical installations follow the external shell completion. Specific project durations depend on factors like weather conditions, material availability, and unforeseen site conditions.
We adhere to British construction standards to ensure all works are completed safely and effectively. Our project management ensures that timelines are adhered to, with continuous updates and communication throughout the process.
