Building a Home

Case Study (Hillingdon)


Our customer had recently purchased a property in Hillingdon - a 3-bedroom end-of-terrace. The homeowners wanted to embark on a project to refurbish the existing property, knock down the garage, and create ample space to build a two-bedroom property. In short, our aim was to create two rentable properties within budget and on schedule.

 

We offer an array of first-class construction services, drawing on our 25 years of experience in home extensions, loft conversions, and New Builds, so your dreams can become a reality. This customer's journey began with a free new-build consultation, and we then created the architectural drawings. 


We strive to offer a very personal service, and one of the ways we do this is by arranging a few home visits to discuss our clients' requirements and establish what they’d like to achieve. This helps give us a much clearer picture of what our client wants for their new build, rather than relying on email or phone correspondence.


This project was no different. We worked with our client to produce plans that they loved and submitted them to the local council to obtain planning permission. We then agreed on a suitable start date for the project.


The project was set to take three months to construct. Our team worked hard to stick to the schedule and completed the project within the three months promised. The two-bedroom property was created to a high lettable standard, with a fitted kitchen, second-floor bathroom, ground-floor cloakroom, and block-paved driveway with parking facilities front and rear - all decorated throughout.

A two-story semi-detached house with a pebbledash exterior, a paved driveway, a white front door, and a small grass patch.
