Common questions

Frequently AskedQuestions.

How long does a home extension take in Glasgow?

A single-storey extension typically takes 8–14 weeks. A double-storey extension takes 14–24 weeks. We give you a realistic programme at the quote stage.

Do I need planning permission for a home extension in Scotland?

Many extensions fall under permitted development rights in Scotland. Size, location and property type all affect this. We can advise at the quote stage.

How much does a home extension cost in Glasgow?

Single-storey extensions typically cost £1,500–£2,500 per square metre depending on specification. We provide a detailed, transparent quote before you commit.

Do you build timber frame extensions?

Yes — timber frame is one of our core specialisms. It's faster than masonry and increasingly popular for extensions in Scotland.
