How it works

Clearer plans in three simple steps

No drawings or technical knowledge required. Start with the details you already know.

01

Describe your extension

Choose rear, side, wrap-around or kitchen, then add approximate width, depth and storeys.

02

Fine-tune the specification

Select your UK region, finish standard, site access and upgrades such as rooflights or bifold doors.

03

Unlock your planning report

Review a breakdown of building work, professional allowances, VAT and a sensible contingency.

What's in your estimate

A budget that accounts for more than bricks

Small extensions, rooflights, structural openings and professional fees can change the overall project cost. We make those assumptions visible.

01

Construction and finishes

Foundations, structure, roof, insulation, typical glazing, electrics and basic internal finishes.

02

Common extras

Optional allowance for bifold upgrades, rooflights, structural steel, new kitchens and drainage diversions.

03

Hidden budget items

Indicative professional and approval fees, standard construction VAT and an allowance for surprises.

Cost model informed by the Federation of Master Builders' published extension-cost guide. Regional factors and extra allowances are our transparent planning assumptions, not verified contractor quotes.

Approximate measurements are fine. The estimate can help you prepare for your first builder conversations.
