A realistic view of programme, from first enquiry through to handover.
Before anything happens on site
Design, approvals and structural calculations usually take longer than people expect. It's sensible to allow a period for drawings and any planning decision before construction can be programmed.
On site
A straightforward single-storey extension is commonly a matter of months rather than weeks. Groundworks and the shell are the most weather-dependent stages; internal finishing is the most detail-dependent.
What causes delay
Late decisions on kitchens, glazing and finishes are the most common cause of slippage on domestic projects. We ask for those choices earlier than feels necessary so lead times don't stop the programme.
