A common question we are asked is why choose an extension? The answer is that with the current economic situation moving property is increasingly difficult, expensive and an unviable way to create more living space. The unnecessary disruption of relocating, high estate agents fees, legal costs, stamp duty and removal expenses can all be avoided. So creating more extra space and additional facilities by commissioning an extension to a house is often the most attractive alternative to the worry and expense of moving home.
Insolum Projects aim to give you a accurate quote early on the process so that problems are avoided later on, making the whole experience a pleasant one for our clients.
