Building More Than Homes – Building Trust

Our approach begins with understanding your goals. We take the time to learn how you use your space, what improvements matter most and what type of design suits your lifestyle. From there, we guide you through planning, permissions, budgeting and timelines so you feel fully supported from the first conversation to the final handover.

Quality is our priority. We use reliable materials, follow proven building practices and maintain a clean, organised work environment throughout the entire project. You can expect regular updates, straightforward advice and a smooth process with no unnecessary delays.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Extensions in Scotland

Thinking about a double-storey extension but not sure where to begin? You’re not alone – many of our clients have the same questions before starting their project. To make things clearer, we’ve prepared answers to the most common queries about costs, planning, design, and the building process, so you can move forward with confidence.

Can I use a cost calculator before getting a quote?

Yes! At Building Extension, we provide a free home extension cost calculator in Glasgow, Scotland that gives you an instant estimate based on your project details. Simply enter your preferred extension type – whether it’s a rear extension, kitchen extension, side return extension, or double-storey extension – along with your property size, and you’ll receive a clear cost guide within seconds. It’s the easiest way to plan your budget before arranging a detailed consultation with our team.

Do I need planning permission for a double-storey extension?

In most cases, yes. Double-storey extensions usually require planning permission, especially in Scotland where space is tight. Our team manages the entire planning process for you, including drawings and applications.

How long does it take to build a double-storey extension?

On average, a double-storey extension takes 16 – 24 weeks, depending on complexity. This includes planning, construction, and finishing touches, with our team keeping you updated at every stage.

Will a double-storey extension add value to my property?

Absolutely. A well-designed double-storey extension can significantly increase your property’s market value, often by more than the cost of the build itself. It also makes your home more functional and attractive to buyers.

 
Can I live in my home while the extension is being built?

Yes, most clients remain in their homes during construction. We carefully plan the works to minimise disruption and keep your daily life running as smoothly as possible.

What can I use the extra space for?

The ground floor often becomes a spacious kitchen -diner or family room, while the upper floor can be transformed into bedrooms, a bathroom, or even a home office. The design is entirely tailored to your needs.
