Two-storey rear extension in Inverurie
We plan and build two-storey rear extensions for homeowners in Inverurie. A larger kitchen downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom upstairs, under one roof. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
Inverurie is covered from our Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire round, including AB51. In Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire we check the neighbours' rear windows first, because the upper floor is where most two-storey schemes win or lose planning.

Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Inverurie?
Planning for a two-storey rear extension in Inverurie follows the Scottish householder rules.
Scottish Class 1B rights for extensions of more than one storey need a 10 metre gap to every boundary, which few gardens have. Expect a planning application as well as a building warrant for a double-storey rear extension.
Classes 1A and 1B do not apply in conservation areas, and listed buildings need listed building consent. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development or a planning application, plus the building warrant.
What are homes in Inverurie like to extend?
Inverurie has sandstone villas and terraces, post-war semis and four-in-a-block flats. Flats need planning permission for an extension, and every project needs a building warrant before work starts.
How a two-storey rear extension in Inverurie comes together
Survey visit
We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.
Options and costs
We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.
Paperwork handled
Planning or permitted development, the building warrant, structural design and neighbour agreements are all handled by us.
Written price, then build
Once the design and approvals are in place, you get a fixed written price and programme, and we build through to sign-off.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Inverurie
Can you match the brick or stone on my Inverurie house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Is two-storey cheaper per square metre than single-storey?
Usually yes, because the foundations and roof are shared across twice the floor area. The total cost is higher.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Inverurie?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
