Who supplied/built the glass extension? What are the dimensions?

8 years ago

This could be the solution to our kitchen dining problem as we are reluctant to fill in our side return. Only problem may be that our kitchen is already long and narrow.

Help with corner glazing in extension plans
Q
Comments (6)
Hi, We had a feature corner window in our design. Originally it was meant to be a custom glass unit just as the one shown with a cantilever beam. However, the cost of the glazing ate into our budget and would have compromised on something else. Anyway, we went for two separate standard units with a corner post (take a bit of weight but more to join the units together). This worked out much cheaper and still gave us the finish we are happy with. Think it was around £1450 compared to quoted prices of £5000-6000. The builder was reluctant also, but if its in the plans (steel calculations) and they have quoted for it then there should be no issue!. Just having a second look at your plans, the one I would be worried about is the run of glazing (opposite your patio doors). A cantilever beam needs to be much more than the length of the run you are showing from what I understand of engineering. So not sure how they architect/structural engineer have accounted for that!....from my experience. Architects can sometimes get carried away with a design without thought about such practicalities. I would go back and question this design element...Builders vs architects!

This is def looking like more than £150k. £200k is more conservative estkmate. Be careful re: planning laws, you are often able to extend up to 50% more (volume) but you have to take into account existing extensions. So I think workshop in garden would focus the extension on areas you need within the house and not use up % of floor plan unnecessarily. Larger single storey (with velux), smaller extension upstairs would allow light downstairs and prob be more acceptable to neighbours and planning. Moving bathroom is expensive but if you keep kitchen, utility, soil pipe to one side it will create efficiencies. There is a wish list and then practicalities from planning permission and budget perspective which will need professional input. Light tunnels are a relatively cheap but useful way of getting light to darker places.

Wow that looks beautiful, I am jealous of the brick. We wanted a very similar colour brick but the council wouldn’t allow and I didn’t want the red brick so we went with blocks and hopefully crisp render. We started our build towards end of Jan. Double extension, the foundations laid and then had the structural engineer out and final final details drawn up. The ground floor blocks have been laid and the scaffold has gone up so don’t know how long that will take. Our builders seem on track and have said August finish but I think it will be September/October Tani how many bedrooms did you have built and how many rooms downstairs? Also from start date to now what has the time scale been? Xx
