If your house has the potential to be extended then it can often be more cost effective to build an extension and gain the extra space instead of moving.
The experience doesn't need to be "a nightmare" or a story for a rogues trader' series - it just needs a professional and organised approach - first and foremost it’s about very clear instructions to tell the builder what you want to achieve and you setting the standard to them.
Chartered Building Surveyors cannot adopt the term "Architect" as that is legally reserved for the specific profession - but the architectural role that PBSC offers surpasses many.
We offer the inclusive service to as far as possible maintain a single point of contact throughout the design and construction stages of the project.
We bring our knowledge and experience of existing buildings to design seamlessly between the old and the new.
The ideal way to achieve the 'dream extension' is to follow our FIVE STEP procedure.
It doesn't matter how small the project is, the same steps can still be followed. There is no requirement for you to commit to using PBSC for the next step until an earlier one is completed, giving you complete control over your project.
