The Enhanced 5 Bedroom Family Home project is located in Mapperley, Nottingham and is commissioned by a private client. With a value of £500,000, this design&build project focuses on increasing space, improving thermal performance, reducing energy costs, and adding capital and financial value to the property.

The project involves the conversion of a 3-bedroom detached house into a spacious 5-bedroom family home. The key element of the project is the construction of a 2-storey extension on the side of the existing house. The completed works encompass various aspects of the renovation:

• The house is stripped back to the brick, and all waste is efficiently removed from the site.
• The existing garage is demolished, and the existing foundations are cleared.
• New steelwork beams are installed to support the structure.
• A full-scale 2-storey extension is constructed, with a new concrete slab at the ground floor level and timber joists at the first floor level. A new section of the roof is also added.
• All new stud walls are installed, incorporating soundproof insulation between rooms to enhance privacy and reduce noise transmission.
• The electrical installation is completely replaced and rewired to ensure safety and efficiency.
• The clean water and foul water drainage systems are upgraded, including the replacement of the boiler and the installation of an additional water cylinder.
• New en-suite facilities are created for the master bedroom, along with a refurbished main bathroom.
• A new kitchen is installed, complete with modern appliances.
• The entire house is replastered and painted, and the bathroom, en-suite, and kitchen areas are tiled.
• New floor coverings, including tiling and carpets, are laid throughout the property.
• Landscaping and garden works are carried out to enhance the outdoor space.

By undertaking these comprehensive renovations, the Enhanced 5 Bedroom Family Home project achieves several objectives. The additional bedrooms and en-suite facilities increase the usable space, providing greater comfort and convenience for the occupants. The new extension and upgraded thermal insulation improve the thermal performance of the property, leading to reduced energy consumption and lower utility bills. These enhancements not only benefit the current/new residents but also add capital and financial value to the home, making it a more attractive investment.

The Enhanced 5 Bedroom Family Home project showcases the transformation of a modest house into a spacious and energy-efficient residence. Through careful planning, construction, and attention to detail, the project creates a modern and comfortable living environment while increasing the property’s overall value.
