Why the D.R.E.A.M UK Home Extension Support Network?
Hi I'm Charlotte Knott.
I started my Facebook group in 2018 I have been part of many other Facebook groups, where loads of homeowners seek advice every day.
The quality & accuracy of advice they receive is dubious
and sometimes the responses are just plain offensive.
Incorrect advice & rudeness don't help anyone.
I understand the desire to save money.
But I don't believe that money should be a barrier to creating the home you deserve.
Therefore - My mission is to bring professional advice, support & guidance to homeowners at a cost that's accessible to everyone.
This is why I bring you this low cost but high value support network -
The D.R.E.A.M UK Home Extension Support Network
To give you access to a range of professionals to assist you with your home extension project, without breaking the bank
The investment from you would be less than the cost of paying for 2 hours of my time per month
This is unbelievable value!
At an affordable price.
Meet The Team
that will be supporting you inside the D.R.E.A.M UK Home Extension Support Network
Charlotte Knott - a fully qualified RIBA chartered Architect registered with the ARB (Architects Registration Board) and a certified Passivhaus designer, with over 14 year experience, who specialises in home extension projects.
Tracy Heaps - a builder with over 20 years experience of working on projects including home extensions, conservatory bases, landscaping, patios, structural work, window and door replacements, brickwork, groundwork, floors & roof.
John Crooks - a Quantity Surveyor (QS) with over 43 years experience (he qualified in 1990!) here to provide advice on building costs. The Quantity Surveyor is the money man in the building industry and if you are on a budget, this is the place to start.
Kellie Gillies - a Party Wall surveyor since 2019. She specialise solely in Party Wall and neighbourly matters and can guide you on whether Party Wall notices are required for your project & help to prevent misunderstandings, which often occur simply through lack of knowledge of this Act.
You will benefit from...
An architect's input our architect (Charlotte Knott) will work through your designs with you to ensure you make the most of your home and advise you of any changes you might need to make to comply with building regulations etc.
A builder's advice if you're determined to DIY all, or part, of your build then our builder will be on hand to answer any building related questions you have so you don't make mistakes with the practical side of things.
Costing advice and guidance get an idea on what your project might costs early on from our quantity surveyor. Knowing the likely costs early in the design process will allow you to tweak the designs as necessary to suit your budget, and will prevent you from getting a huge shock once you receive quotes from builders!
Party Wall advice the Party Wall Act is not very well known amongst homeowners, but can have a huge impact on your project, and your stress levels, if you are not aware of what you need to do. Neighbours can be difficult and getting this wrong could cause you project delays & large costs if you have to get multiple party Wall surveyors involved.
A safe space to ask your questions Just like my free Facebook group (UK Home Extension Community) the private members only Facebook group will be a safe space to ask your questions. No sarcastic or nasty responses will be tolerated, and no question will be considered a silly question. All questions are welcomed and will be answered with respect. Our architect and the other professionals will be present in the group daily, setting it apart from Charlotte's free Facebook group which doesn't benefit from the input of the other professionals.
Live Zoom calls multiple times per week I, Charlotte Knott, (architect), will host a number of live calls on Zoom each week where you can drop in & talk face to face with me about your extension project, ask any questions you might have, get any advice you need and work though any designs issues you might be having.
Access to all this at a fraction of the costs of hiring an architect on a 1:1 basis for 2 hours every month! all these professionals will be on hand to guide you through your project at a frankly miniscule investment. The costs is such that it should allow anyone to have access to the guidance needed to help make your home extension project a success.

This Is NOT For:
Anyone dealing with a project which is not a house extension or renovation project
Property developers
Anyone outside of the UK as regulations etc differ from country to country and our experience is within the UK only

Hello Charlotte. The information regarding standard contacts was very insightful as was the information discussed regarding 'brick measurement'.
