- Measured survey, design and planning drawings
- Building regulations drawings and structural design
- Foundations sized for two floors
- Ground and first floor structure, roof tied into the existing roof
The roof is what makes a two-storey extension look right or wrong. We match the pitch and materials of the main house wherever possible and plan the upstairs layout around the existing landing so the new rooms feel original rather than bolted on.

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.
The planning position for a specific Cambuslang address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Scotland has no Party Wall Act. Where work affects a shared wall or a neighbour's land, we agree access, protection and making good with your neighbour in writing before work starts.
In Scotland a building warrant from the council is needed before work starts on almost any extension, and a completion certificate is issued when the work is accepted. Building standards are set in the Scottish technical handbooks.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.

Questions people ask about double-storey extensions
Do you cover all of Cambuslang?
Yes. We cover Cambuslang and the surrounding parts of Lanarkshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Cambuslang 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.
Who do I contract with for a double-storey extension in Cambuslang?
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.
Is a two-storey extension cheaper per square metre?
Usually. Our guide range is about £1,520 to £2,940 per m² of new floor area including VAT, compared with £1,720 to £3,330 per m² for single-storey work, because the foundations and roof are shared across two floors.
