Hi Powerjen, I've seen some of there videos on YouTube today after your suggestion, they look exactly like something we need, in terms of turnaround time. Anyone got any suggestions about designs of the extension?

Hi ProDave Thanks for the reply. The only reason we don't want to go down the whole roof off and and rebuild is around 4 years ago we refurbished the whole ground floor, new kitchen, plastering, decorating, carpets etc and don't ant to ruin all that with a whole roof off option.

HI guys, Due to a growing family we need to extend our current 3 bedroom dormer bungalow in to a larger house with hopefully a couple more bedrooms. I have attached a couple of pictures of the current layout of the upstairs of the house, and I have also attached a diagram of what we would like to have (as in preferred amount of bedrooms/bathrooms) as well as architect drawings of the property now from a kitchen extension we did a few years ago. The roof and current layout of the upstairs of the house has me a bit confused on how the extension would look/be built (Take off the whole roof and add a proper new first floor/ extend the roof back for a 'Mansard' style extension/ go with SIPS panels for the extension to save time rather than standard construction?) We would need to live in the property as the work would be going. I know I should be speaking with an architect but I thought I would get some ideas from the forum first, that way I can throw some ideas at the architect when we finally get round to taking the plunge and going for it. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
