Frequently Asked Questions
This is often the most complex part of a commercial building extension. Our team handles the full service-integration, from diverting existing drainage to upgrading your mains power and data infrastructure to handle the new square footage. We ensure the old and new systems work as one seamless network.
Yes. Most of our clients need to stay open. We use “segregated site” strategies to keep your staff safe and the construction noise contained. We can also schedule the most disruptive phases of the commercial extension during your off-peak hours.
Absolutely. Because we own our plant and machinery, we manage the entire groundworks phase ourselves. Whether your site requires standard strip foundations or complex piling due to Somerset’s varied soil types, we have the engineering expertise to ensure the new structure is perfectly supported.
Commercial buildings are subject to rigorous fire safety, thermal efficiency, and accessibility (Part M) regulations. We work closely with building control and architects from the outset to ensure your commercial extension is fully compliant, safe, and future-proofed.

Why Choose Us for Your Commercial Extension?
Self-Delivery for Total Control
We don’t rely on a chain of subcontractors. We use our own direct team for everything from the initial civil engineering and groundworks to the final master-carpentry finish.
Professional Financial Management
Every commercial extension is overseen by our Quantity Surveyor. We provide detailed, itemised tenders that account for every structural variable. This ensures your board or stakeholders have total clarity on the budget from day one.
Principle Contractor Oversight
A commercial property extension means you’re building while your business is still running. As your Principal Contractor, we manage the entire site logistics, noise control, and health and safety.

Decades of Happy Clients
We’re incredibly proud of the reputation we’ve built over the last 35+ years.
