The project

Double-storey rear extension

  • Project: Double-storey rear extension
  • Our role: Structural design and build
  • Structural works: Steel beams and columns for wide rear openings
  • Construction: Blockwork shell, timber floors and roof

The steel frame was designed to open up the back of the house at ground floor, with the new first-floor rooms built over it.

The photos follow the build from the steel going in to the shell being completed under scaffold.
