Case studies: Building project in Leeds 2006

A large detached property with a new roof, dormers, extensions and luxury handmade kitchen.

The Home Improvement Advisory Service were the key team involved in this home extension and refurbishment project, from initial conception through to the final decoration. The home owners were keen to include very high insulation standards as part of the building work.

We selected and managed the main building contractors and various tradesmen, and worked with the architect and structural engineer to create a magnificent family home.

All aspects of the renovation work were under the day to day management of our team.

The home featured here had a number of enhancements including a new roof structure, an entire new floor at the rear, front roof dormers, glazed skylight over a magnificent kitchen and family room, two ground floor extensions and a bespoke handmade oak staircase. The work was sympathetic to the original construction and has added significant space, and value to the property.

Thias, Project management services added value to this project by acting as a single point of contact for the customer. We liaise between the homeowner and all professions and trades-people required to make your home extension happen. We spend time at the beginning of the project making sure that the requirements are clearly defined, and the work is well planned.

By spending time ensuring all parties are clear about the project requirements, and maintaining the highest possible standards of workmanship throughout the project, the possibility of remedial work and re-work is reduced, which in turn helps control costs.

Conclusion

The homeowner has a magnificent family home, which was well designed and with lower running costs due to the inclusion of high quality and well thought out insulation measures and an efficient heating system.

All completed within the timescale agreed and on budget.
