Transforming Spaces with Purpose
Your garage holds untapped potential. Converting this space requires careful planning, technical knowledge, and creative vision to ensure the result is both practical and compliant. We specialise in reimagining garages as bright, welcoming spaces that serve your family's evolving needs. From initial concepts through to completion certificates, our end-to-end service removes the complexity from your project, allowing you to focus on the possibilities rather than the paperwork.

Understanding Your Vision
​
Every conversion begins with understanding how you live and what you need from your new space. We listen carefully to your requirements, survey your property with precision, and develop designs that make the most of every square metre. Our approach balances aesthetics with functionality, ensuring your conversion feels like a natural extension of your home rather than an afterthought.
Navigating Regulations with Confidence

Building regulations and planning permissions can seem daunting, but they needn't be obstacles. We manage all local authority submissions on your behalf, handling correspondence and ensuring compliance at every stage. Our experience with Bathgate and surrounding areas means we understand local requirements and can anticipate potential issues before they arise, keeping your project moving forward smoothly.

Accurate Measurement Surveys And Concept Design
Every successful garage conversion starts with precise data. Our measurement surveys capture every detail of your property to ensure accuracy at each stage. We then develop multiple outline concept designs, refining ideas until the most practical and effective solution for your needs is achieved. This process allows us to set realistic budgets during the early stages, keeping your project affordable without compromising on quality.
Detailed Designs, Planning Applications, And Warrants
From layouts to construction drawings, detailed planning ensures your conversion is both functional and compliant. We manage submissions for planning permission and building warrants on your behalf, taking care of all local authority correspondence. Where necessary, building warrant amendments are provided during the build process to accommodate minor changes, helping your project progress without unnecessary delays or complications.
3D Visuals, Virtual Tours, And Project Visualisation
To provide a clear view of your future space, we offer 3D images and virtual tours. These tools allow you to see how your garage will transform into a new, practical area before construction begins. Whether you are creating a home office, gym, or living room, the ability to visualise your project early gives you confidence in each decision, ensuring the finished space matches your expectations.

Structural Solutions, Tenders, And Completion Stage
