To transform the garage and extend the rear of the home into a seamless, functional space that elevates daily living, supports modern working, and adds lasting value to the property.
✨The Vision
Our clients approached us with a clear goal: to create an additional double bedroom and a new, spacious kitchen that would transform the way they used their home. They had a strong design idea in mind and were seeking professional support to ensure the plans were efficient, functional, and ready for planning approval.
⚡The Challenge
The project involved reconfiguring the existing layout, converting the integral garage to provide a comfortable double bedroom, and designing a kitchen extension that maximised space without compromising the flow of the property. Achieving this while meeting Colchester Council’s planning requirements was essential.
🧩The Approach
Working closely with the clients, we refined the proposed layout, confirming the footprint of the kitchen and the detailed arrangement of the new bedroom. We prepared and submitted a planning application that balanced their aspirations with the local authority’s guidance.
Following planning approval, we developed comprehensive Building Regulation drawings and supporting documents, which were submitted to Colchester Building Control under a Full Plans application. The plans were reviewed, commented on, and approved prior to construction commencing.
🏡 The Outcome
The project has now been successfully completed, with the client receiving their Building Control Completion Certificate. The new kitchen and additional bedroom have transformed the property, providing modern, practical spaces that perfectly suit the family’s lifestyle. The clients are now enjoying their upgraded home and all the benefits of the thoughtfully designed extension.
