Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Coordinate foundations and floor build-up with agreed finished levels.
What the drawing needs to explain
Draw a section with internal floor, threshold, outside level and drainage. Add a plan showing door movement, shoe storage and everyday access.
Decide this before construction
Fix levels and drainage before ordering flooring and the door. Plan a temporary rear exit if the existing kitchen remains in use.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on area, brick type, detailing and scaffold access. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for brickwork & masonry repairs. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging brickwork & masonry repairs?
A sample panel helps compare new and existing work. Age and weathering mean an exact colour match is not always possible.
The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
