I'm seeking a skilled builder to create a rear extension on my bungalow. The primary purpose is to add additional living space, specifically a bedroom and a living room. The bungalow is 8m square, and looking at a rear extension of 4m x full width. On the attached very quick plan we have in mind, the original bungalow area is outlined in red, so we're talking about moving the rear left wall into the existing area to make an en-suite for the extension main bedroom, and losing the rear right wall (existing kitchen) to open up to a kitchen/diner/sunroom. These are only my ideas, and they seem to work for what we want, but open to any design suggestions also, but this is retty much what we'll need for living. ** WE OWN, BUT AREN'T CURRENTLY LIVING HERE YET, WE PLAN TO BE IN BY THE END OF THE YEAR IF ALL GOES WELL** So no immediate hurry, I'm just trying to get as much info and help as possible up front. Design Requirements: - Modern, traditional, or minimalist aesthetics - Oak/mixed timber frame design preferred, but also happy with traditional build Ideal Skills and Experience: - Expertise in timber frame construction - Experience with modern/traditional/minimalist designs - Knowledge of local building regulations and permits - Strong project management and communication skills Please include examples of previous work and relevant qualifications in your bids. I hope that's enough info to be getting on with.

Hi, I can help you design and plan your rear bungalow extension (4m full width) and take it through to a buildable, permit-ready solution. Your concept is solid—adding a bedroom with en-suite and opening the existing space into a kitchen/diner/sunroom is a very effective way to increase usable living space. I’ll refine your layout to improve flow, natural light, and structural efficiency—especially where walls are being removed and reconfigured. I have experience with both timber frame (oak/mixed) and traditional builds, so I can guide you on the best approach based on budget, performance, and local regulations. Scope I can support: Concept design + layout optimization (bedroom, en-suite, open-plan living) Structural coordination for wall removals and openings Timber frame or traditional construction detailing Planning permission + building regulation drawings Build-ready documentation for contractors I understand you’re planning ahead before moving in, so I’ll focus on giving you a clear, realistic path—design, approvals, and construction—so everything is ready when you start. Quick questions: Project location (for planning and building regs)? Do you have existing drawings or just the sketch? Preference between timber frame vs traditional build (budget range helps)? Any height or roof style preference for the extension? Target timeline to start construction? Thank you, John.

Hello, I’m an experienced residential designer and builder with strong background in **bungalow extensions and timber-frame construction**. I can help develop your 4m full-width rear extension into a practical, modern and buildable design that improves both space and flow. Your concept—adding a bedroom, ensuite, and opening the rear into a kitchen/diner/sunroom—works well for this type of property. I can refine the layout to ensure good circulation, natural light, and efficient structural planning, especially where the rear wall is being modified and internal spaces are reconfigured. My services include: • Feasibility review of your proposed layout • Concept design development (modern, traditional, or minimalist) • Timber frame or mixed timber structural approach • Internal reconfiguration for ensuite and open-plan living • Building regulation compliant design direction • Contractor-ready drawings for pricing and construction I have experience with similar bungalow transformations where the goal is to maximize usable space while maintaining structural clarity and build efficiency. I can also suggest alternative layouts if there are opportunities to improve flow or value. **Timeline:** Initial concept review and layout options within 3–5 days, with further refinement based on feedback. I’m confident I can help turn your idea into a well-structured, build-ready extension design.
