Issues that may cause the delay in your Home Extension
Home extensions, while a popular way to increase living space, can also present challenges if not approached correctly. These problems can range from aesthetic issues to serious structural concerns. Here are some common issues and how Paramountbuilt can help:
Structural instability
Improperly designed or constructed extensions can compromise the structural integrity of the existing building. This can lead to cracks, sagging, or even collapse. Our team of experienced structural engineers ensures that your extension is designed and built to meet or exceed local building codes. We carefully consider the load-bearing capacity of your existing structure and incorporate appropriate reinforcement measures.
Building Code Violations
Non-compliance with building regulations can result in fines, delays, and even the need to demolish the extension. Our experts are well-versed in all relevant building codes and regulations. They will guide you through the permitting process and ensure that your extension meets all requirements.
Neighbour Disputes
Extensions that encroach on property lines or block sunlight can lead to disputes with neighbours. We will carefully consider your property boundaries and any potential impacts on neighbouring properties. Our team can help you navigate any necessary negotiations or obtain the required permits.

Case Study
Mr and Mrs Wilson, residents of London, faced a common challenge with their Victorian terrace home: limited living space. Determined to expand their living area without compromising the home’s character, they turned to Paramountbuilt for a solution. Our expertise in Victorian house extensions proved invaluable.
The Wilsons opted for a side return extension, a popular choice for Victorian terraces. This design involved extending the property laterally from the side, creating a new living space without altering the original structure. RIBA architects carefully considered the existing architecture, ensuring that the extension complemented the home’s original features.
With our creative and artistic design, our structural engineers also fully consider the structural calculations for this extension to ensure the integrity and safety of the building. The company’s attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident throughout the project. The Wilsons were delighted with the finished result. The side return extension had transformed their Victorian terrace into a modern, comfortable home while preserving its historic charm.
