Creating Space for Growing Families in Solihull and Birmingham

We work with a lot of families around Solihull, Kings Heath, and Knowle who’ve simply run out of space — but don’t want the stress or cost of moving. The homes are good, the schools are nearby, and the garden works. It just needs that extra bit of room to breathe.

Sometimes it’s a rear extension to bring the kitchen and living space together, sometimes it’s a loft for two new bedrooms. We look at the structure you’ve got, what planning will allow in your area, and how to make it feel like it’s always been part of the house.

If we’re working in Solihull, for example, we’ll often keep an eye on ridge heights or projection depths for householder approval — or plan within permitted development if time’s tight. On lofts, we’re usually working around the existing stair and making sure we’ve got the headroom to keep building control happy, especially near the eaves.

• Kitchens that open up properly into the garden — not just a box on the back

• Bedrooms and bathrooms that feel balanced, not bolted on

• Plans shaped by how you actually live, not just how they look on screen

• Every drawing tailored to local policy and checked against regs from the start

Featured Project: We helped a family in Solihull create a full-width rear extension and added two bedrooms in the loft — all drawn up, modelled in 3D, and approved under standard householder planning.
