If your project requires seasoned architects London can provide you with no greater team than our own. For more than a decade, our team has been working on a huge variety of structures. This includes everything from extensions to commercial developments. You can count on us to come through for you, regardless of what your own endeavour is.

The semi-detached house stands as the backbone of our country’s housing stock. It’s also an integral element of the streetscape in the majority of areas. The issue is that the homes lack space for some people. Many therefore opt to extend or remodel them. There are many ways you can do this. However, one of the most popular strategies is adding a new basement or converting the current cellar.

A basement development is one of the leading ways of bringing in additional floor space. It proves useful in urban locales where gardens are restricted and room is at a premium. Projects of this nature are typically financially viable in high-value communities. Moreover, there’s a growing trend for introducing a new extension alongside burrowing for a new basement underneath.

Talk to your neighbours

Something you must do during one of these projects though is address the concerns of neighbours. Sometimes, they can become nervous. What you need to do is explain that you’re working with professionals who have experience in this area. It would be helpful to inform them that Building Control has passed the plans as well. They’ll feel more at ease knowing that safeguards are in place.

There can even be benefits for neighbours when you construct a new basement. For example, you could be building the party wall up. If so, then there shall be a ready-made wall to one side for their own basement. Such a set up can save them money.
