What North Star coordinates
Feasibility
Review space, plot, drainage, trees, access and planning context.
Architecture
Coordinate layout, massing, light, materials and garden connection.
Structure
Plan foundations, temporary work, steel and inspections.
Envelope
Resolve weathering, insulation, glazing and thresholds.
Fit-out
Set services and specialist dimensions before manufacture.
Handover
Test, snag and organise completion evidence.
Test the extension against the plot
Hadley Wood includes detached and semi-detached houses with varied gardens, levels, trees and previous additions. A useful feasibility review combines the homeowner’s space requirements with planning context, drainage, structure, access and landscape constraints.
Rear, side and two-storey options are assessed for circulation, light, furniture and garden relationship. The footprint alone does not determine quality; ceiling height, views, wall space and thresholds decide how the new rooms will work.
Drainage surveys and trial holes may be appropriate where records are incomplete. Tree roots, sewers and neighbouring foundations can materially affect foundation and construction choices.
Planning and neighbourhood character
Hadley Wood has a conservation area, neighbourhood planning policies and Article 4 controls. The address-specific position can influence extensions, roofs, boundaries, windows, hard landscaping and trees.
The design should respond positively to the original house and landscaped setting. Massing, side gaps, materials and neighbour amenity are considered before the application is finalised.
Planning permission, Building Regulations, Party Wall procedures and private covenants are different controls. The programme allows each to be resolved through the responsible party.
From foundations to a weather-tight shell
The engineer’s design is coordinated with excavation, temporary support, bearings, steelwork and the existing building. Inspection stages remain accessible until approval is recorded.
Walls, roofs, glazing and thresholds are detailed as one envelope. Waterproofing, rainwater, insulation, airtightness and movement at old-to-new junctions are checked before internal finishes begin.
Long-lead glazing and steel are tracked against verified dimensions. Materials are protected on arrival and installed to the approved or specified detail.
Interiors and completion
Kitchen, utility, lighting, heating and joinery packages are coordinated before first fix. Samples and benchmark areas set the required visible quality.
North Star stages snagging and commissioning, closes the agreed approval items and organises handover records. The construction image is drawn from the company project archive and does not disclose a client address.
Frequently asked questions
Do Hadley Wood extensions need planning permission?
The answer depends on the proposal, property and mapped controls. Conservation and Article 4 information must be checked for the address.
Can you build from our architect’s drawings?
Yes. The information is reviewed for construction coordination and outstanding details before the build scope is fixed.
How are trees considered?
Relevant trees, roots and protection requirements are identified early and coordinated with design, foundations, access and local-authority requirements.
When should the kitchen be selected?
The layout and service requirements should be developed before first fix, with final manufacture based on verified dimensions.
How is quality recorded?
Critical hidden work is inspected before concealment, samples set visible standards, and staged snagging records outstanding items.
