How we work

From first call to handover

A renovation doesn't have to be complicated. We work in six clear steps, with firm agreements and one point of contact.

  1. 01

    Introduction

    You call or message us about your plan. We ask a few questions and schedule an on-site visit, usually within a week.

  2. 02

    Survey and advice

    We measure up, look at the existing situation and think along with you. Sometimes a different layout turns out to be more practical or cheaper than you expected.

  3. 03

    Tailored quote

    You receive an itemised quote: what we do and what it costs, per item. No surprises afterwards.

  4. 04

    Planning

    Once agreed, we set the start date and duration. You know exactly when each part of the work takes place.

  5. 05

    Execution

    We keep going until it is finished. At the end of every day we tidy up, so you are not living on a building site.

  6. 06

    Handover

    We walk through the work together. Anything you notice is fixed before we hand back the keys.

From foundations to handover

How an extension takes shape

We keep you informed throughout construction. This is what an extension looks like at each stage.

  1. Reinforcement and formwork of the foundation for a new extension01

    Foundations

    Reinforcement, formwork and an insulated floor as a solid base.

  2. Extension shell with timber roof beams and scaffolding02

    Shell

    Brickwork, steel and roof beams. The structure takes shape.

  3. Extension with newly installed white frames and French doors03

    Frames & roof

    Doors and roof windows in, roof on: the extension is watertight.

  4. New rear extension with large sliding glass doors on a Rotterdam terraced house, lit up in the evening04

    Handover

    Fit-out, electrics and finishing. Ready to live in.
