JOINT REAR EXTENSION FOR NEIGHBOURING DWELLINGS 

APPROX BUILD COST: £90,000 (total for both extensions)

KENDAL, CUMBRIA - 2015

A dual extension project for two very similar semi-detached properties. The owners of each property agreed to extend their properties as one common project, with the aim of providing increased & improved kitchen/living/dining facilities, whilst retaining privacy for both properties.  The site area for both residences was quite limited & access for construction very restricted. SRM were able to design a solution, using the constraints of the site to provide spaces that satisfied each client’s requirements. Maintaining good natural lighting levels within the existing building & the extension was one of the main client priorities. This has been achieved through the use of a balanced installation of multiple roof lights over the extension roof areas

SRM were engaged from the outset of the project & worked through sketch ideas, planning approval to building regulations stage. During the construction phase, contractors built from the drawings & specification provided at building regulations approval stage. SRM were required to provide a minimal amount of support to the contractors, on an ‘as required’ basis throughout the works on site.
