What are the trends in Home Building? ‍

Build and design projects are flourishing throughout Derry-Londonderry as housing demand – and prices – increase. As a result, recent projects have included lots of extensions for open-plan kitchen-diners and extra bedrooms, the conversions of lofts and garages into extra liveable rooms and outbuildings and garden rooms to facilitate home offices, studios and even small businesses!

What is the cost of Building a House?

Unlike most building companies, Refresh Renovations provides free quotations with no obligation to buy upon a property visit to properly scope out the job and understand all requirements. It goes without saying that a full home build from scratch will cost more than an extension or addition, but there are so many variables that it’s impossible for any professional to give a thorough costing without knowing the exact scope of the project, product specifications and labour time required.

Why choose Refresh for Home Building and Extending?

Traditional home builders tend just to focus on the development of new build estates but Refresh works on a much more bespoke basis. Managing every project from start-to-finish, every aspect of the build is taken care of – so homeowners only need to be as involved as they’d like.‍

Will I need planning permission for an Extension? ‍

The requirement for planning permission depends on the property, the land and the size and scope of the works. While there are lots of extensions and additions that can be completed under homeowners’ Permitted Development Rights, Refresh Renovations manages all aspects of planning permission applications and appeals as part of their standard service and so there’s no reason why it should need to add extra time or budget to the project as a whole.
