Loft Conversions
Loft conversions offer an excellent opportunity to transform underutilised attic space into a functional living area. The builders at Arundels Construction Ltd are adept in the field of bespoke loft conversions, bringing craftsmanship and attention to detail to projects in Bognor Regis and the surrounding West Sussex area. Loft conversions require less structural work compared to property extensions, which can make them a more cost-effective solution.
Moreover, since loft conversions use existing space, they do not encroach upon gardens. This can be particularly beneficial for homeowners with limited outdoor space or those who value maintaining their garden's current layout.
Property refurbishments and home renovations will often require plumbing, heating and electrical work to bring the building back to code. With loft conversions, our new home builders and tradespeople can also run power and water supplies into your attic space for a more comfortable experience.
Garage Conversions
For homeowners in Bognor Regis with a garage that serves as little more than a storage space, a garage conversion can be an excellent way to maximise usable living areas. Arundels Construction Ltd's experienced builders transform underused garages into versatile rooms, turning them into extra bedrooms, offices and entertainment areas. Garage conversions offer the advantage of utilising existing structures and reducing the need for extensive groundwork.
Planning permission is generally easier to obtain for garage conversions as they often fall within permitted development rights (provided there are no major alterations to the exterior). This can save both time and effort when compared to property extensions, which involve building from scratch.
Property Extensions
Property extensions provide the opportunity to expand the footprint of a home, creating additional living space that seamlessly blends in with the existing structure. The new home builders at Arundels Construction Ltd have extensive experience in constructing high-end property extensions in Bognor Regis, ensuring that new space integrates harmoniously with original designs. Property extensions require more construction work and careful planning, but they also offer the advantage of full customisation. This allows homeowners to create tailored living spaces which precisely meet their needs.
Property extensions are ideal for those seeking substantial additional space or for those who desire a more dramatic transformation of their home.
The Big Comparison
When considering the time needed for completion, loft conversions and garage conversions tend to be much quicker projects compared to property extensions, especially with the extra plumbing, heating and electrical work involved in extending. The construction process for loft and garage conversions is six to ten weeks depending on the scale and complexity of the project. On the other hand, property extensions often involve more extensive groundwork and construction too, and this is another reason as to why they require a longer timescale for completion (usually several months to a year).
In terms of cost, loft conversions and garage conversions in the Bognor Regis area prove more cost-effective compared to property extensions. The reduced need for structural modifications and the utilisation of existing space keeps the overall cost lower. However, the specific cost of a project depends on numerous factors such as the size of the conversion or extension, the level of customisation, the materials used, and the required electrical work.
Property refurbishments and home renovations can also vary significantly in cost, again based of the amount of work needed from our builders.
Arundels Construction Ltd, with expertise in electrical work, ensures that all loft conversions, garage conversions and property extensions meet the necessary safety standards. Our experienced team of general builders, new home builders and trade professionals guarantee seamless integration of electrical systems into newly created spaces, prioritising both functionality and safety.
When maximising space in the home, conversions and extensions both offer distinct advantages. Loft conversions and garage conversions leverage existing space to provide cost-effective solutions that require less construction work and won’t always need planning approval. Property extensions, while more complex and time-consuming, offer the benefit of customisation and the ability to create a more substantial transformation for a home.
With forty years of experience as general and new home builders, Arundels Construction Ltd is well-equipped to guide homeowners in Bognor Regis through the process of converting and extending. We can also advise you on your property refurbishment and home renovation needs should you have any.
