We've drawn extensions and lofts for every period represented here — Victorian rear additions, Edwardian side returns, 1930s wrap-arounds, and contemporary infill where the streetscape allows.

From your first call to a decision, expect 12–14 weeks total: 1 week measured survey, 2 weeks design, 1–2 weeks validation, 8 weeks determination.
