Building...
Need more space without moving home?
Prime Build Construction provides complete house extension services throughout Portlaoise, Co. Laois and surrounding areas.
Whether you are planning a larger kitchen, additional bedroom, open-plan living space, home office, utility room or a substantial extension, we can manage the building work from the initial groundwork through to the final finish. We coordinate the different stages of the project so you have one main point of contact throughout the build.
A well-designed extension can completely change how your home works.
Instead of moving to a larger property, extending your existing home can provide the additional space your family needs while allowing you to stay in the area and home you already know.
Prime Build Construction works with homeowners on extensions of different sizes and styles, including:
We can manage the main construction stages required to take your extension from the ground to a completed living space. Depending on the project, this can include:
Site preparation, excavation, foundations and associated groundwork required for the new structure.
External and internal walls, structural openings and the main construction of the extension.
Installation and completion of the roof structure required for the extension.
Appropriate insulation works throughout the walls, floors and roof areas as required by the project.
Preparation and installation coordination for windows, patio doors and external doors.
Stud walls, plasterboard, ceilings and preparation of the new internal spaces.
Plastering, skimming and preparation for decoration.
Final interior works required to bring the extension to a finished standard. (Where specialist electrical, plumbing or gas work is required, we coordinate the appropriate trades).
Kitchen extensions are one of the most effective ways to transform an existing home. Many older properties have separate kitchens, dining rooms and smaller living areas that no longer suit modern family life.
A rear or side extension can create space for a larger kitchen, dining area and open-plan living space while improving the connection between the house and garden. Prime Build Construction can carry out the structural building work and manage the construction process through to the internal finish.
Opening existing rooms and combining them with a new extension can create a much brighter and more practical living space. This can involve removing existing walls, creating structural openings and connecting the original house with the new extension.
Every property is different, so structural changes should be based on the appropriate drawings and engineering requirements for the project. We work from the approved project information and carry out the building work accordingly.
Depending on the layout of your property, an extension may be possible to the rear, side or a combination of both. A rear extension is commonly used to enlarge kitchens and living areas.
Side extensions can make use of underused space beside a property and may provide room for a utility area, additional bedroom, office or larger living space. The best option depends on the property, site layout, planning requirements and what you want to achieve from the finished space.
Sometimes an extension is only one part of a larger renovation. For example, a homeowner may want to extend the kitchen while also:
Prime Build Construction can combine the extension work with wider renovation works, helping to keep the overall project under one main building contractor.
We carry out general building work from the early construction stages through to the final finish.
We manage the building process and coordinate the specialist trades required throughout the project.
The final stages matter just as much as the structure itself. We pay attention to the finishing work that turns a building project into a completed home.
Contact Prime Build Construction and tell us what you are planning. This may include the approximate size of the extension, what you want to use the new space for and whether you already have drawings or planning information.
Where appropriate, we can arrange to view the property and discuss the proposed work in more detail.
For larger structural projects, proper drawings, specifications and engineering information may be required before an accurate quotation can be prepared.
Once the required project information is available, we can prepare a quotation based on the agreed scope of work.
Work begins according to the agreed project requirements. We manage the building stages and coordinate the specialist trades needed during the project.
Once the structural and installation stages are complete, we move into plastering, flooring, tiling, decorating and the other finishing work included in the agreed scope.
Prime Build Construction provides house extension services throughout Portlaoise and surrounding areas of Co. Laois, including:
The cost depends on the size of the extension, specification, structural requirements, site access and level of finish. A small straightforward extension and a large open-plan kitchen extension with major structural alterations can have very different costs. The best way to establish a realistic budget is to have proper plans and specifications prepared and then request a quotation based on the actual project.
Planning requirements depend on the individual property and the proposed extension. Some residential extensions may qualify for planning exemptions, while others require planning permission. Homeowners should confirm the planning requirements for their specific project with the appropriate planning professional or local authority before construction begins.
We can manage the main building works and coordinate the specialist trades required throughout the project. The exact scope is agreed before construction begins so everyone is clear about what is included.
Where electrical, plumbing or gas work is required, we coordinate the appropriate specialist trades as part of the project.
Yes. Many extension projects include renovation works to the existing property, such as opening rooms, flooring, plastering, tiling, decorating and internal alterations. These works can be included within the overall project scope.
