Covering Aberdeen
Site visits are available across Aberdeen (AB10, AB11, AB15, AB16, AB24, AB25). The same team covers Westhill (8 miles), Stonehaven (12 miles), Inverurie (15 miles), Ellon (16 miles), all within easy reach.
Across Scotland, extensions follow Scottish planning and building standards, including the building warrant process, which we build into the programme from the start.
Will the council need to approve it?
In Scotland, householder permitted development rules (Class 1A for single-storey ground-floor extensions and Class 1B for extensions of more than one storey) allow some smaller extensions without a planning application, within limits on depth, height and distance from the boundary. Conservation areas and listed buildings are more restricted. Separately, almost every extension needs a building warrant from the council before work starts.
In a conservation area or national scenic area the householder permitted development rights are more limited, listed homes need listed building consent, and if rights have been removed by a condition or direction, any extension needs an application.
Building close to a public sewer needs the agreement of Scottish Water, which we check during design.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.

With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Bungalow extension questions answered
Who do I contract with for a bungalow extension in Aberdeen?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Do you cover all of Aberdeen?
Yes. We cover Aberdeen and the surrounding parts of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Aberdeen be involved?
If a planning application is needed, the council notifies neighbours. Where work is close to a shared boundary, we agree access and protection with them in writing.
How much does a bungalow extension cost?
Our guide range for single-storey work is about £1,720 to £3,330 per m² including VAT. Going upwards is priced after a structural survey.
Is it better to extend sideways or upwards?
Sideways and rearwards is usually simpler, cheaper and keeps single-level living. Upwards saves garden but means stairs, more structure and planning permission.
