Answers to Help You Build with Confidence
There are many things to take into account when considering a construction project. Whether it’s a home extension, loft or garage conversion, house remodel, renovation or refurbishment, or building something completely bespoke, I’m sure you will have many questions.
From how much things cost, how long they take, the general process and much more, we’ve had questions a plenty fired at us over the years. We’ve therefore documented some of these below for those who have their own unanswered questions. Neatly categorised in their own respective subject area.
You can browse some of our frequently asked questions below, or if you would rather give us a call or an email, we would be happy to answer your burning questions there too.
Although we would need an initial conversation in order to assess this, typically the current space between your loft floor to ceiling is the quickest way to determine this. As a general rule of thumb, you will need at least 2.2m from the loft floor to ceiling (at it’s highest point) in order to meet the legal loft conversion requirements.
This will depend on what type of loft conversion is required. Some of the more straight forward loft conversions will not require planning permissions, but if the roof space needs altering or extending, then planning permissions will need to be granted.
This will depend entirely on the scope of work required, and what type of loft conversion you opt for. Some loft conversion options are more straight forward than others, meaning less labour time. Typically most of our loft conversions range between six to sixteen weeks, but timescales will be discussed once we know the full requirements.
We cover all the different loft conversions options. Side, Rear and Pitched Dormers, L shaped, Hip to Gable, Piggyback, Mansard and so on. The most appropriate loft conversion option would be discussed in more detail depending on your current set up and requirements. (We will also explain what all of these options mean and look like, for those not privy to this construction jargon).
This will depend on a number of scenarios. Will the loft conversion require a dormer? Will the shape of your roof’s end require alteration, or the entire roof shape? Will bathroom facilities be required? All of these factors will affect what you should expect to pay, as well as specifications of requirements. All of which will be discussed in more detail during our consultation and quoting phase.

"Just completed a major house remodel with Outline Construction, and I would not hesitate to recommend them. They were very professional, worked really well with us in residence, and their work is top quality."
