Cottage House Refurbishment

21 August 2020

   Cottage House Refurbishment project was a £120k refurbishment house. It encircled the open space extension, loft conversion, renovation, refurbishment, and back yard to an old 1900’s home, including asbestos removal and mechanical & electrical re-design and improving the house thermos efficiency.  

    The house was positioned on the valley of the Thames, in desperate need of stabilisation works. The Landlord has defined the scope of works. He developed the specification that encompassed all the necessary restoration works following a few months of monitoring and getting the relevant permissions in place.

    In May 2016 County Council granted planning permission for the works. The Landlord fully funded the project, and he was acting as the Project Manager responsible for the design, contract management, and cost control of the Contract.

    Following a competitive tender, Civcons Design was appointed as the Main Contractor, and we realised that this would be an extraordinary project indeed. 

   The house is located in a popular area with both Sunbury and Shepperton close by. The impact of the works on the property was going to be significant. 

   In the 1900s, they built this Cottage house to accommodate a small family. In 2007 they sold it at the cost of a total of £432,500. In 2016, Civcons Design Team started on-site to complete £120k worth of works. Completing one week before the deadline on the 19th of May 2017 – over the 18 weeks, the team provided value designing options that saved the client money and improved the efficiency of the building. 

   The house has been handed over to the client snag-free with a value estimated in 2017 at £949,950
