Common Questions
As a rough guide: extending or renovating your own home falls under Extensions & Renovations, renovating a property you own to let or sell falls under Investment Refurbishment, converting a property into a house of multiple occupation falls under HMO Conversions, and converting a commercial building into homes falls under Commercial to Residential. If you're still not sure, get in touch and we'll point you the right way before any work is scoped.
Yes — an HMO conversion of a commercial building, for example, touches both HMO Conversions and Commercial to Residential. We scope the project on its specifics rather than forcing it into a single category.
Yes. Extensions, renovations, investment refurbishment and HMO conversions are primarily residential; commercial-to-residential conversions start from a commercial building. All four are managed by the same team under the same design-and-build model.
The core process is the same — consultation, design and planning, build, handover — but the detail changes with the project. An HMO conversion involves licensing and room configuration; a commercial conversion involves Permitted Development or planning routes specific to change of use. We handle the relevant detail as part of the service.
