Expertly designed additions & alterations to help you create the home of your dreams.

We’ll help you to design and build functional additions and alterations, expertly adapting your home to suit the changing needs of your lifestyle.

Improve the value and comfort of your home.

As your family’s needs change over the years, you might find that the size, layout or functionality of your home no longer works for you.

With the increasing cost of property, building an addition is often a much cheaper and less stressful option than moving house. It gives you the chance to create exactly what you’re looking for without compromising on space or location, while also adding value to your existing property.

From adding an extra bedroom to removing internal walls to create an airy, open-plan layout, there are lots of ways to work with the existing building so you can stay in the home you love. Whether you know what you want or you’re looking to discuss options, the experienced team at General Building Co. can help design and execute home alterations that work for your family.

How will you make
your house a home?

Whether you’d like to create a more functional space or you’re looking to upsize without relocating, we can help. Here are just a few of the most popular addition & alteration services we offer.

Frequently asked questions.

We’ve put together some of the most commonly asked questions about our additions and alterations service.

Whether or not you need planning permission depends on the type of addition or alteration, as well as various other factors such as the size. When we discuss your project with you, we’ll advise you on which, if any, permissions you need.

If you need planning permission for your project, we’ll take care of the application process for you. We have years of experience in all aspects of building and construction, so we know exactly what you need, as well as how to improve the chances of a successful application.
