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.

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.
