Constructing Homes: A Complete Guide to Refurbishments and Extensions
When it comes to making improvements to your property, refurbishments or extensions can make a truly significant difference. Both refurbishments and extensions create more space, help modernise your interiors or simply add value to your house. Working with trusted builders makes the whole process much easier.
At KPBR Builders, we have vast experience and delivery of quality construction services within the areas of Hertfordshire, London, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire. In this Blog, we will discuss what refurbishments and extensions look like, and how you can best maximise your project.
Why You Should Consider Refurbishments and Extensions?
Home Improvements are more than just a trend; they are an investment in your comfort and lifestyle. Many homeowners are now opting to improve their existing space rather than moving, and here’s why:
More Space, More Comfort
Extensions are a great way to create more living space, without the hassle of moving! Whether it is an additional bedroom, a bigger kitchen, or a larger lounge, an extension provides you with opportunities to enjoy your home in new ways.
Adding Long-Term Value
A successful refurbishment or extension increases your daily enjoyment of the home and the overall market value of your property. Often, buyers are attracted to homes that have already been refurbished or extended, as they are drawn to modern, open spaces and practical layouts.
Customised to Your Lifestyle
Are you working from home more, or perhaps your family is growing in number? Extension and refurbishment can be tailored to your lifestyle and provide space that actually works for you.
Planning Your Project the Right Way
Good planning is essential for any construction project. Here at KPBR Builders, we are with you at every step to bring that vision into reality.
Deciphering Permissions
One of the most important parts of the planning process is finding and applying for the appropriate planning permissions, as well as satisfying the building regulations. Our architectural and planning team have experience designing layouts and applying to local authorities, taking the stress away from you.
Budgeting With Certainty
When you set up a budget, it helps you understand the costs at the start of the project, so there are no surprises later. That’s why we always provide clear and concise quotes, including practical advice, and let you know exactly what you are getting for your money.
Selecting the Right Look
Your home should be a representation of your personality, and that is why we collaborate with you to develop your house design and materials – whether contemporary with modern finishes or traditional – to get this balance right between aesthetic and practical.

Tips for a Hassle-Free Home Improvement Experience
Here are some tips to help ensure that your refurbishment or extension goes smoothly:
Have a specific goal – Have a clear understanding of what you are trying to achieve from your project.
Communicate – Your builder should keep you up to date while also correcting misunderstandings.
Future proofing – If you’re designing a space, think about how your needs may change and adapt to include that if possible.
Invest – If a tradesperson is skilled and uses quality materials, you are likely to achieve good, long-lasting results.
