Homes in the Highlands

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 goes into a wraparound extension?

Because it removes two external walls, a wraparound needs careful structural design and a good plan for the corner where the steels meet. We design, apply for any permissions, build and finish the shell, and can fit the kitchen as part of the same contract.

How much does a wraparound extension cost in the Highlands?

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

High specification	£4,250 to £4,700 per m²

Do you need permission for a wraparound extension in the Highlands?

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. Whatever the planning position, you need a building warrant from the council before any building work starts, and a completion certificate at the end.

What can change the price or programme?

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.

From first call to completion

Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.

What people ask before starting

Can we keep part of the kitchen working?

Often, by sequencing the work so the old back wall comes out last. We agree a plan with you before starting.

Glazed roof or solid roof?

A mix usually works best: solid roof with rooflights over the kitchen and a glazed section over the dining area.
