Creating a Larger Open-Plan Living Space

Project Overview

The aim of this project was to extend the rear of the property and create a more practical, open-plan layout for everyday living. This required the construction of a new extension together with structural modifications to the existing property.
Our team completed the structural framework of the extension, installed steel beams to support the existing building, and built the new external walls using high-quality blockwork. By opening up the rear of the house and extending the living space, the property is ready to progress through the remaining stages of construction.

Work Completed

Rear House Extension

The new rear extension has been constructed using durable concrete blockwork, creating a strong and reliable structure that integrates with the existing property. The extension has been carefully built to provide additional internal living space while maintaining the overall character of the home.

Structural Alterations

To create a larger open-plan layout, sections of the existing structure were carefully opened up and supported using structural steel beams. These alterations allow the original property and the new extension to function as one continuous living space while maintaining the structural integrity of the building.

Structural Steel Installation

Structural steel beams were installed to safely support the existing building after internal walls were removed. Accurate installation of these structural elements is essential for creating wide, open living areas while ensuring long-term stability.

Blockwork Construction

The extension walls were built using quality concrete blocks with careful attention to alignment and structural performance. The new masonry provides a solid framework for the remainder of the construction process.
