Extension Construction Project

Project brief

The objective of this project is to construct a new extension from the ground up, including concrete foundations, walls built with 120mm random stone featuring two round windows with hand-chiseled koins, Firestone rubber roofing with a roof lantern for the main extension, and a sloped glass roof for the other section. Additionally, the front of the extension will feature oak framed glass and bifold doors leading to the decking area.

What we delivered…

Building an extension from scratch may sound daunting, but with the right approach and expertise, it’s a rewarding endeavour. Our recent project was all about creating an additional space for our client’s home, and here’s what we did to make it happen.

First things first, we needed a strong foundation. We laid down concrete foundations to support the weight of the new extension. Think of it like building a house – you need a solid base to build upon.

Next up, we tackled the walls. We used 120mm random stone, carefully chosen and arranged to give the extension a sturdy and attractive appearance. We even added two round windows for some extra character, each one hand-chiseled to perfection.

Now, let’s talk about keeping the rain out. For the roof, we went with Firestone rubber roofing. It’s tough stuff, built to withstand the elements and keep the inside of the extension nice and dry. We also added a roof lantern to let in plenty of natural light, making the space feel bright and welcoming.

But we didn’t stop there. We wanted to make sure our client could enjoy the views of their garden, so we installed a sloped glass roof on another section of the extension. It’s like having a window to the sky, bringing a touch of the outdoors inside.

Last but not least, we wanted to make sure the extension looked good from the outside too. That’s why we added oak framed glass and bifold doors at the front, leading out to a decking area. It’s a great spot to relax and enjoy the sunshine.

Overall, building this extension was a lot of hard work, but seeing the finished result makes it all worth it. It’s given our client’s home a whole new lease of life, and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

What our client said…

Driver’s Building and Roofing went above and beyond to deliver a space that exceeded our expectations. From the initial removal of trees and old fencing to the installation of a new retaining wall and feathered board fencing, their attention to detail was impeccable. The new porcelain tiled patio area and raised flower bed added both elegance and functionality to the space, while the lush new grass lawn area provided the perfect backdrop for outdoor relaxation and enjoyment. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with the professionalism and quality of workmanship provided by Driver’s Building and Roofing. Our garden has been transformed into a beautiful and inviting outdoor retreat, and we couldn’t be more pleased.

From the first contact with Sam he came promptly to discuss the works we required. It became evident that our varied work of building, roofing, paving and landscaping was all within their capabilities. The work to the front of the house, complete renovation of the front roof, and chimney stack have all been carried out to the highest standard. Work continues on the garden wall, paving to the front door, and across the front and side of the house. Sam and his team are hard workers, reliable, honest and do what they say they are going to do. Sam also suggests various ideas that we had not thought of at all. As other reviewers have noted, the site is left tidy and clean at the end of each day. Also, Sam handles all the logistics of ordering materials and supplies and having them delivered when he requires them. In summary, we believe their work is excellent, and can highly recommend Sam and his team without hesitation.
