There is more to designing and building an extension than simply putting lines on a sheet of paper. At Prestige we pride ourselves in the effort that we put in to designing to our clients brief but with consideration for a great number of key factors which we know are important from our years of experience.
- Client – The most important person of all – we want to deliver as much as possible to fulfil your brief.
- Budget – What is the point of designing a wonderful scheme if the client’s budget or local house prices won’t permit.
- Planners -We cannot make the planning decision ourselves, but will do all we can to satisfy planning criteria.
- Building Control – We must design a project which CAN be built. No good looking pretty if it won’t work or is too complicated.
- Light – Whichever way the property faces, we want to maximise the amount of light in our design, we all crave this factor.
- Logistics – Will our client be living in the property while building is carried out? If so we should programme accordingly.
- Simplicity – We use the philosophy “If it isn’t broken, don’t mend it!” – thus saving unnecessary costs and disruption.
- Re-sale Value – We must consider local property prices to avoid designing a property which would be out of context.
- Re-sale Appeal – We always design in ‘kerbside appeal’ as well as internal ‘wow factors’.
- Timing – We want to deliver the best result ON TIME for our clients- this may influence design concepts.
- Drainage – We must check out drain runs and ownerships to ensure that we can build over or near existing drain runs.
- Insulation – Let us design a property that is so efficient it will cost less to run than the existing house in many cases.
- Sustainability – In these modern times, we want to show you how to economically incorporate sustainable features.
