What is included in a wraparound extension in Perth?

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 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

What approvals does a wraparound extension need in Scotland?

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.
