As the days get longer and temperatures rise, many homeowners start to think about home improvement projects. At Connor Ferris Architects (CFA), we know that summer is the perfect season to bring your home development dreams to life. Whether you’re considering a stunning extension, a garden-facing renovation, or a full-scale refurbishment, now is the ideal time to plan ahead.
Why Summer is the Best Time for Home Projects
Summer offers longer daylight hours, better weather conditions, and more predictable schedules, making it easier to carry out building work. Dry conditions are essential for everything from groundworks to roofing, helping projects stay on schedule and within budget.
Plus, many families plan holidays during the summer, meaning less disruption if major works are happening at home. It’s an opportunity to return to a beautifully improved living space!
Popular Summer Projects We Help Clients With
- Single-Storey Extensions: Create a larger, light-filled kitchen-dining space to enjoy year-round.
- Garden Rooms and Studios: Make the most of your outdoor space with a dedicated office or relaxation zone.
- Loft Conversions: Add valuable living space and increase your property’s value without sacrificing garden space.
- Open-Plan Living Redesigns: Maximise natural light and airflow with a fresh internal layout.
Planning Ahead is Essential
If you’re thinking about starting work this summer, now is the time to get organised. Key steps include:
- Design Development: We work closely with you to capture your vision and deliver beautiful, practical designs.
- Planning Permission: Some projects can be completed under Permitted Development, but others require formal applications – allow time for this process.
- Builder and Contractor Scheduling: Summer is a peak time for construction; securing a reputable contractor early is crucial.
- Building Regulations and Compliance: We ensure your project meets all current standards for a smooth build and successful sign-off.
