House Extension in Glasgow โ€” FAQs

Single-storey extensions in Glasgow typically run ยฃ2,000 to ยฃ3,000 per square metre, so a 20 square metre rear extension usually costs ยฃ40,000 to ยฃ60,000. Two-storey extensions cost more in total but less per square metre because the roof and foundations are shared.
Many single-storey rear extensions in Glasgow fall under permitted development, up to 3 metres for an attached house or 4 metres for a detached one, or up to 6 and 8 metres under the larger home extension prior approval scheme. Conservation areas, listed buildings and most side extensions need full planning permission, so check with your builder first.
A single-storey extension usually takes 10 to 16 weeks on site, and a two-storey extension 16 to 24 weeks, weather and access permitting. Allow time for design, planning and building regulations approval before work begins in Glasgow.
If your extension is built up to or astride a shared boundary, or involves digging near the foundations of a neighbouring property, the Party Wall Act applies and you must serve notice. Most Glasgow builders flag this early so a party wall surveyor can be arranged in good time.
Yes, almost all extensions need building regulations approval covering structure, insulation, drainage and fire safety, even when planning permission is not required. Your Glasgow builder works to these standards and arranges building control inspections at each key stage.
