Here’s what our clients have to say.

This was my first project and I was nervous at the beginning as every thing was new to us. Nadir was very helpful in guiding us through the entire project from planning stages to choosing materials to assigning builders; giving us assurances that the project would be finished on time and on budget. He also provided us with ideas for interior design. The build was of high quality with great care taken throughout. Geroge and his team were excellent builders and really gave us a peace of mind. There were issues with some of the materials (not their faults but due to Covid restrictions and the subcontractors), all of which were sorted out by Nadir and George between themselves. I’m hugely impressed by the after build care (nagging jobs and other issues). They were all addressed without fuzz.
A true test of a beautiful house is whether you are proud of showing it to guests. I’d say this project has passed this test with the highest score. We are still in love with the extension 3 years after it has finished. We’ve also received a lot of compliments from our guests.
I highly recommend both Nadir and George for their service.
Frequently Asked Questions – Double Storey Extension Costs & Pricing
What influences the double-storey extension cost?
The double-storey extension cost depends on factors like the size and footprint of the extension, site access, foundations, structural requirements, finish quality, and local planning requirements. Structural work and drainage can add high cost, so architects help plan efficiently to keep expenses controlled.
How is the cost of double storey extension calculated?
The cost of double storey extension is typically based on the total square metre area, specification level (standard vs premium finishes), and complexity of structural work. Early architectural design and a clear brief allow cost estimates to be more accurate before construction begins.
What affects the double-storey side extension cost specifically?
A double-storey side extension cost is often higher than a single-story extension because it involves more structural support, new roof connections, and potentially party wall agreements. The size of the side projection, window choices, and demolition work all affect overall pricing.
What is a typical double-storey extension cost per m2?
The double-storey extension cost per m2 provides a useful budgeting starting point. While actual figures vary by location and specification, many homeowners use a per-m2 benchmark to understand expected build costs. A professional architect or estimator can refine this with your specific details.
Can the cost be reduced with good design?
Yes, thoughtful architectural planning can help reduce overall cost. Efficient use of space, simple roof forms, standard material choices, and avoiding over-complex structural elements. All designed early can lower the double-storey extension cost without compromising quality.
When should I get an estimate for double storey side extension cost?
It’s best to get an estimate once you have an initial architectural concept. This allows an architect to quantify size, materials, and structural needs, which makes the double-storey side extension cost estimate more realistic and reliable for budgeting.
How does architectural design affect double storey extension cost per m2?
Architectural design directly influences how space is used and how structural loads are resolved. A well-designed layout can achieve more usable area with less structural complexity, improving the double-storey extension cost per m2 and resulting value for money.
