Homes in Glasgow
Scottish homes range from city tenements and sandstone terraces to bungalows and modern estates, and the building warrant process shapes the programme for every project.
What does a wraparound extension involve?
A wraparound extension combines a side return and a rear extension into one L-shaped build, giving the biggest possible ground-floor space on terraced and semi-detached houses. It usually creates a large open-plan kitchen, dining and living area across the back of the house.
- Building warrant application and completion certificate
- Design, planning drawings and structural calculations
- Optional kitchen supply and installation
How much should I budget for a wraparound extension?
Typical ranges for wraparound extensions. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.
| Wraparound extensions | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Standard specification | £3,400 to £3,800 per m² |
| Good specification | £3,800 to £4,250 per m² |
| High specification | £4,250 to £4,700 per m² |
Planning and building rules in Glasgow
In Scotland the key step is the building warrant, which must be granted before work begins. Planning permission is decided separately by the council, and work on shared walls is handled under your title deeds rather than a party wall act.
Scotland has its own householder permitted development rules, and small single-storey rear extensions are often covered.
What can affect a wraparound extension?
- The corner steel connection is the critical detail and is designed by a structural engineer.
- Roof water from an L-shape needs careful falls and outlets.
What are the steps?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.

Around 12 to 18 weeks on site after approvals.
