Their progress is then monitored and pay rates are   adjusted in line with an individual’s performance.

Single storey extension including Glass roof and folding doors. W5

Project type

Single storey extension, including glass roof, bi-fold doors and skylight with rain senor

Space created:

This recently completed extension in Ealing Common has not only improved the appearance of the rear of the property it has transformed the interior, and provided additional space for the kitchen and dining room. With two sets of bespoke made folding doors the customer has the opportunity to expand the space with an effect of bringing the real stone terrace inside. The dining room/conservatory also benefits from natural light provided by the glass roof, with the fitting of a fully automated roof vent system, the temperature is regulated with the minimum of energy consumption, even if you are out.

Background to project

Once we had recieved the well put together tender pitch from the client, we arranged a meeting to go over the project details with the client one evening.  Even though there were many merits with the design that their architect had drawn, it soon became apparent that the drawing from a building perspective had several discrepancies. We pointed this out to the client, who was impressed with our attention to detail even before the project had started, they said that no other contractor had spotted the problems.  We then with the clients agreement arranged for our architect to redraw some of the areas that required attention.  Due to us spotting these issues early, the project went very smoothly, and I think the pictures speak for themselves.

 

From the construction point of view, the project had two elements that had very little tolerance as they were manufactured out of glass.  We therefore worked closely with Designer Construction (glazing supplier) to make sure that their construction was tailored to fit the bi-fold doors and the glass roof precisely. We also had a cantilevered roof that was due to be weathered with lead, this meant that the roof would adjoin other materials. There can be an issue, especially around different metallic materials reacting negatively with each other, so we had to research an appropriate solution with Designer Construction.

Conclusion

As we were attentive preparing for the project, it allowed us to commence the build with no grey areas, this meant that the project ran smoothly on time and on budget.  This was the first time that we had worked with Designer Construction (one of the first firms to introduce bi-fold doors in the country), they were very impressed with our skill and precision. We therefore have fitted many more of their doors, and we are the only firm that they will recommend if asked by their clients, "do you know a good builder?".
